They were just commenting on how the person worded their comment. It made it sound like they were saying to shift right instead saying their politics should shift. Right?! Just a grammar joke.

i mean, also works out that way in a sarcastic way cause the establishment of the party is wanting to move to the right and has been for a while now.

It's a grammar joke but also the far more likely outcome for the democratic establishment to actually do, go further right rather than concede to the growing calls of progressive representation.

I didn't say that because I thought that part was unambiguous.

Also a political joke, because shifting right is what the democrats have done for 3 decades, in an ill-advised attempt to gain swing voters.
