Democrats have also moved right, not left.

I don't agree. Yes, the Dems got rather more business-friendly in the middle of the stated period (which looks to be about 1972 to now), but have gotten significantly more serious about gay rights (much less trans rights) and somewhat better about racism, and have been tacking a bit back towards the left economically in the past few years.

So I would agree with the claim that the Dems have moved slightly to the left overall, when you take all the issues into account -- not as much as many people would like (and it depends on how you weight the issues, which is very subjective), but still a bit.

And it's certainly that the Repubs have moved horrifyingly to the right, especially in recent years.
