A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Just be take a short trip to any country outside the US and you'll realize that it is indeed the case: No left in the US.
There is a left it's just not the established Democrat party.
Ah yes, like Europe?
Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Hungary? Which ~~socialist~~ right wing "paradise" should I visit?
Or maybe Germany, where the AfD is gathering steam?
Maybe actually learn about the world before spouting sayings you learned on Twitter 3 years ago.
Europe sure has a big resurgence in right wing politics, however a socialist left is still represented (albeit on the decline).
I’m not stating that there is a socialist paradise somewhere, just that in the US you can hardly consider the left "left" (Overton window, yadi yada)
