Current Events > The "left" in this country would be extreme right almost anywhere else

(+) Yeah! (+)

The right has pushed the center so much over the years and cant see they have won every major battle in the last 40 years.

We have a country that protects guns and war so much piles of dead children do nothing to change the conversation.

The farthest we ever got to caring about our citizens health is a system of subsidies that still enriched insurance companies

We are about to lose net neutrality, corporations are people.

The right won everything and yet feel this country is too liberal because you cant use racist terms without getting fired for it and because most people dont like nazis.

Literally this Shit hole is so far right that being anti Nazi is considered liberal.

This really shouldn't get people defensive and looking to attack you, but hey, prepare to be disappointed, like their parents.

And how is an emotion based knee jerk response like banning guns going to prevent that?

i'm pretty sure the left here wouldn't be extreme right in a place like iraq

This is really what some liberals believe, huh?

In reality, the extreme, extreme right here is considered "moderate" in places like the Middle East and Africa. Even in Europe, the U.S. moderates are basically the same as the neo-liberals.

Or fucking anywhere. They'd be centrist at most in the furthest left countries. And no, the Democrats aren't even left in the US. Center-left and center even for our politics.

Lol true

I still think he's exaggerating. I doubt democrats would be considered extreme right in many countries. Centrist to moderate right is more like it.
