return2ozmaWhy do they say "there's no true Left in the US"?
neatcheeBecause the opposite of evangelical fundamentalism and nationalism isn’t free healthcare and taxes. It’s communism, where there is no private ownership of property. That doesn’t exist as a political party in the U.S.
Well, that’s not true.
We say it because both US parties are very similar, and both of them are very right leaning compared to the rest of the western world.
It also indicates that’s there’s no democracy in the US, because there’s only really one choice.
… One is far right, the other is far left. When you’re talking about the political spectrum, which is what this post is covering, it’s absolutely true.
I thought it was pretty obvious I wasn’t saying they are literal opposites in all contexts
Which major US party is far left (on a global political scale)? I must have missed them somehow.
Our Overton Window is crazy right at this point.
You’re misunderstanding me. The examples I gave are far right (evangelical nationalists) and far left (communists). But the far left doesn’t have any accrual representation in America. That’s my whole point. There is no communist party in America
There is no far left mainstream political party in the US.
Yes that is LITERALLY what I’m saying. It’s like people are just reading this one comment without reading the previous replies in the conversation
I swear, y’all have a single shared one track mind
