This model is quite literally how they condition everything into you. Gas prices raise two dollars, breaking records, everyone freaks out, they lower gas prices a $1.50, everyone cheers. Few months later repeat. We are compromising ourselves into having nothing. They take a mile, we fight and settle to get half of what we lost back, then they do it again.
Your argument is that the Dems have moved to the right, but I’m struggling to think of any examples of that in the last 30+ years. During Clinton’s term they passed DOMA and DADT, and now they’re in favor of same sex marriage and trans rights. The ACA, CFPB, attempts at student loan forgiveness, lowering prescription prices, etc. I just don’t see how the left has moved to the right, although I agree that the right has moved right.
Dems not catching up to other left parties in other countries isn’t Dems moving right. The examples I gave demonstrate a clear, if only moderate, move to the left. Their move is barely perceptible, but certainly not to the right.

Issues that have long been policy in most other countries for decades.

That’s them moving slowly, though, not moving in the wrong direction
Prices always trend upwards. That is inflation, and our current system requires inflation to function.
Imagine the plight of those in places where raising the price of fuel by $1.50 USD would evaporate the market.
