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)

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
