    agreed. In context, they’re centrists for the States. Bernie is only barely left of center to the rest of the world but considered extreme here by corporate media and the other government clowns.

      When people say dumbass shit like this it makes me wonder what part of the world they are talking about.

      All of Africa: right wing compared to America

      Most of South America: right wing compared to America

      Pretty much all of Asia: right wing compared to America

      Middle East: lmao

      Russia: lmao

      Europe: about 70% right wing or similar to America with a handful of countries that might be considered left wing maybe but are sliding right as well.

      The British Commonwealth: about the same as America except for the healthcare aspect.

      Maybe you consider Antarctica left wing? Maybe the Oceans? Maybe the only part of the world that exists to these idiots are uber white Aryan nordic countries only? Or maybe you live in a fantasy dimension and are somehow communicating to us through a wormhole via Lemmy.

        Europe is absolutely not as you describe. That’s what the media feeds you in North America.
