      Not sure who you’re taking about, America has a right wing party and a far right wing party.

        “From MY point of view the Jedi are evil!”

        It’s all about perspective, and some perspectives are more reasonable than others. Saudi Arabia likely views the US as having a left wing and a far left wing party.

        I think it’s reasonable to call Democrats centrists with a slight lean to the left, compared to parties globally.

          They wouldn’t have given Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars or financed Musk’s takeover of Twitter if they weren’t ideologically aligned.

            I think this is a really neat insight into your psychology, that you can’t fathom the idea of allying with someone who doesn’t agree with you on every single point.

          The only point being proven here is your complete lack of political education. I’m not American and it’s crazy that you can look at the policies of your democratic party and call that left wing. You still have to go pretty far left from that to even hit something resembling centrist politics.

      literally just watched a video where a guy starts off calling himself a “moderate” then proceeds to call himself a “maga patriot” The problem is the far right is never honest about who they are and what they want because they know it sucks.

        Agreed. Doesn’t negate my point though. Extremists usually view those closer to the center as on the other side of it.

          I don’t think most leftists see themselves as centrists. In fact, I can’t even think of an example to fit that case.

      Yeah. The issue with that is that there zero evidence to confirm that they’re correct in seeing things that way. Whereas there is ample proof virtually EVERYWHERE to illustrate how leftists incessantly bark about bOtH siDeS!
