inclementimmigrantDemocratic Leaders Face Backlash Over 'Cowardly' Responses to Trump War on Iran
TropicalDingdongI mean they are litterally breaking a momentum for a blue wave which has never ever been at the scale this one the potential for.
With good leadership Dems could be heading into something so big the Republicans wouldn’t be able to to come back.
But instead weve got these two
Tempus FugitIt’s hard not to look at them as controlled opposition.
svelteciderThey’re on the same team (capital).
What the US call left-wing and right-wing, a sane political spectrum calls center-right and extreme-far-right
ClassStruggleIts no where near center right, center on the scale doesn’t move, just the parties. Dems haven’t been center right in decades
Edit sp
Luminous5481 "Lawless Heathen" [they/them]Nah, Bernie and AOC are center-right. The average dem is far-right. It’s a conservative party.
I had a typo, Dems haven’t been center right for decades. They’ve been far right for years
TheKingBombOmbKillerIn which country are you imagining Bernie and AOC fitting right in with a self proclaimed center-right party?
This may come as a shock to you, but things like universal healthcare aren’t far left policies in normal countries.
Liberals in the US would be conservatives anywhere else. AOC and Bernie are just normal liberals. They wouldn’t even be considered progressive in most NATO countries. The US has a skewed political system because it has always been a right-wing government that, at the very best of times, bordered on fascist.
This is not the best of times.
I live in such a country, and have no problem with imagining Bernie and AOC joining our leftist parties. The Socialist Left Party, the Green Party and the Red Party have policies and visions similar that match what Bernie and AOC is pushing. There are parts of the parties that could be described to the left of Bernie and AOC, but to claim that they belong in the Conservative Party is pretty silly, even if the Conservative Party is pro universal health care.
I didn’t say Bernie and AOC belong in the conservative party. You didn’t understand what I wrote. I would encourage you to read it again.
The US, despite their rhetoric their actions are aligned with the rest of the DNC, a far right wing party
