America doesn't have a left wing. There's far right and center right

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks far right and farther right, to me.

Lawful evil and chaotic evil.

Both are chaotic evil, just first example how sending arms to Israel breaks even USA law.

I've read similar before. I've heard that the UK's Conservative Party (Tory's) are more aligned with the US Democrats in their outlook than the US Republicans. The Tory's are generally considered our right wing (there are smaller more right wing parties though).

For a minute in Canada we would say “if Obama were Canadian, he’d be the greatest conservative PM we ever had”

The argument we usually see in the US is some nonsense like "you're comparing the Democrats in America to the left globally, you can't do that! They're to the left of Republicans so they're the left!"

...ughh...

There's far right and right. I wouldn't call them anywhere near centre right.

There is no two-party system, it is a uni-party, anything else is smoke and mirrors.

A quick perusal of the voting history of both parties destroys this ridiculous opinion.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Smoke and mirrors. Both parties represent Capital, voting is often negotiated pre-vote, including dissenters.

Dems of today are Nixonian conservatives. He gave us Legacy of Parks.

They're not right wing/controlled opposition. They're right wing controlled opposition.
