    That’s because US politics is ridiculously conservative compared to Australian politics. Some have even argued that our major conservative party, the Liberal Party, is actually more left-leaning than your Democratic Party.

      Yeah democrats are definately center and I would say mostly right of center but they do have some generally progressive folks but the party is very broad across the spectrum. Our republicans I can’t even call conservative now as they seem to be in some sort of internal competition with each other on who can be the craziest.

        No, absolutely not. The Democrats are hardline fiscal neo-conservatives and on social policy are generally pretty conservative(even had a non-Christian leader?).

        You don’t seem to appreciate that your right wing is literally charging into the Hitler/Mussolini/Stalin ballpark right now… they’re so far off the normal spectrum it’s like watching a movie.
