    Who are “they”? This is the first time I’ve ever heard that statement.

      “they” is commonly used and understood as being a general reference to ‘people’, whether a specific area (politics) or society.

        Ah ok, I’ll rephrase the question: Which “people” are saying this? This is the first time I’ve ever heard that statement.

          I’ve said it before, and many others on discussion forums who are not from the US but have knowledge of the system and its characters.

            The left in the US are doing the best they can with what they have. This kind of “holier than thou” elitism from abroad does nothing to help the situation.

              It isn’t elitism or such an attitude to point it out.

              I used to live in the US but I’m not from there. Am I allowed an opinion on something which has wider ranging consequences?

                Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that doesn’t make it any less judgemental or snobbish though.

                That’s my opinion anyway

                  On the other side, the US thinks it has a left yet, as this comment encapsulates, to most of us outside of the country, it clearly does not. It’s not snobbish to point it out, it’s factual.

                  Not everyone is entitled to an opinion, that’s why we don’t put up with racists and Nazis.

                    Ah, so not only are you claiming some kind of imagined moral victory over people you’ve clearly never met, you’re also claiming that Europe is free of racists and Nazis??? Lol that was a good troll dude, you really had me going for a while there 🤣🤣🤣
