Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

The quip contrasts two meanings of “right”: directional/ideological (“right or left”) versus ethical (“right or wrong”). Armour suggests that politics has drifted from evaluating actions by their justice, truth, or consequences and toward evaluating them by factional alignment. The line implies that ideological labels can become shortcuts that replace moral reasoning: a policy is defended or condemned because it belongs to “our side,” not because it is sound. As satire, it also hints that the left–right spectrum can oversimplify complex issues, encouraging tribal loyalty and rhetorical point-scoring rather than accountability and principled judgment.
