What if I informed you that there are more than two options, and they don't have to be extremities? And what if I followed up by informing you that what we have in the US, for a political spectrum, is not the norm elsewhere in the world?
The political spectrum in the U.S. omits leftists entirely. Both Republicans and Democrats are pro-capitalism and pro-U.S. imperialism.
And what if that not only changed nothing, but didn’t refute the post?
My reply was more aimed at the title of the post and its sentiment. "Pick a side"
I'm not a believer that there are only two political options for the US, long term, and would love to see a true political multi-party representation in the US government. I believe that something not completely (EU) far left will prevail in the US. And absolutely not the (US) far right. (Perhaps I'm just being a wishful fool, and the US will crash and burn in the next 1-5 years. Hopefully, we can make it out of this mess without doing so. But if it has to happen, so be it.)
The EU is only "far left" in comparison to the US.
But that's because the US has moved so far to the right that they can't see any other political position from where they stand.
US has always been right wing, never even went center left once. thats why the far right of western countries flee to the us, so they can grift there. US is more closer to russia than they are to EU politically spekaing.
To be fair, I am bad at picking titles. So there's that
I'd respond by saying you're too stupid to safely walk and chew at the same time and advise you to stop talking
