The term "left" and "Democrat" are basically interchangeable for the most part.

Only if you're dumb and American. Democrats are right wing. Exclusively.

....do you even know where the term left and right wing started??? The Democratic party definitely has more overlap with the left than the right.

I'm curious what alternate reality definition you're using though. Please explain your thoughts process. Show your work.

  • Supports capitalism over socialism.
  • Supports imperialist projects to dominate the global south and destabilize competitors.
  • Supports more funding to police.
  • Rejects single payer health care.
  • Rejects nationalizing oil and gas industries.
  • Rejects any form of trust busting.
  • Rejects any measures to reign in corruption, lobbying, or corporate influence.

I could go on all day.

The only meaningful difference is that Democrats hate gays slightly less and try to avoid using the n word in public.

I'd ask you for math, but I'm just going to spend an hour debunking Washington Post links claiming dems want things they never bothered to try implementing.
