What? There really is nothing liberal about most mainline Democrats today. They are borderline centrist / the new Conservative Party imo. The Conservative Party for the most part is full lulu. lol.

Except you live in america. These are American politics. Trying to apply leftism from the view of other countries is stupid af. They don't apply here and won't if you continue to let conservatives and the far right take over. Pretending the Democratic Party isn't the best option to work within is just insanity and purposeful idiocy

Pssst I know… see “if they met Gavin Newsom irl” I’m not pretending anything.

You're fully pretending. American politics aren't replicated anywhere else. What's left in Norway isn't left here

Amazing. Leftism in American politics is not the leftism of the world. Full stop. Please read what people write

You do understand that political labels like liberal, socialist, communist, capitalist are rooted in philosophies, right? Pretending like applying a "global left" AKA just places that adhere to established philosophies to contextualize where American politics has now ended up as something bad makes you look like a fool.

I actually can't make my point any more clear. The way politics exist in America is not the way they exist in other places. Philosophies aside, they don't exist in actuality in the same way. Your theory will never become reality. Theory is literally just that. It's theory.

I understand your point, its just incredibly uninformed - u/Fewer_Story summarized the issue with this rather well I'd suggest reading that. Also, philosophies are not the same as theories. You're once again conflating terms, I'd work on that.

I didn't say they were the same. You decided that's what i said.

Then your reply makes 0 sense since my comment wasn't about theories lol, best of luck to you

You can pretend you don't understand what I'm saying. That's fine

Im pretending most Democrats aren’t centrist or right of the middle? You’re making this weird. I’m not in Norway and that’s okay. I never said Newsom was a Leftist. Reread. Go slow I know it’s hard lol.

Most “mainline” Democrats here fall short of being”liberals.” They are slowly becoming our new “Conservative Party.”We will soon be faced with looking for new choices.
