I always find it idiotic when people argue "Democrats are right wing by european standards"... lol there is no relative standard for center, it is an absolute... what they should say is "democrats are farther right compared to the average in europe". But to suggests they are right of center has little basis in reality. Their policies may not be as extreme left as politicians in europe, but they very clearly are left of neutral/center

@freemo uhm, when you look at right wing as capitalist, and left wing as communist, which is the clear absolute, American Democrats are right wing, period the end. Regardless of what AM talk radio tells you President Biden is 100% in support of capitalism.

What are you on about, 100% of europe is capitalistic. The last time a us president tried to say they weren't and that they were socialist multiple countries prime ministers all stood up and told him off and said they were capitalist even.

Never mind the fact that is **not** remotely how either side is defined, so its a moot point anyway.
