    Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don’t even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is.

    Intentional or not this paragraph is a defence of the Republican party, ans I fully believe it is intentional. The only way conservatives like this can feel any sense of justification is to bring their enemies down to their level.

      No this is showing how we don’t have a left party in the usa while people are worried Mamdani will end up like Obama did after the DNC gets more involved.

      Being critical of how the dems are failing the country is vital, not something that makes one instantly a conservative.

        Complete ignorance of policy to say the DNC aren’t left and the GOP aren’t hardcore right.

            They’re left in the sense that they expand medical coverage, tax the rich, regulate industries, and promote solutions to climate change.

              Cool, still on the right of rest of the world on all those things. See they use of Romenycare instead of going for Medicare for all or universal healthcare
