Always fascinating to me to run across European lefties who want to explain that the Democratic party isn't leftist. The English speakers come from, almost always, overwhelmingly white countries without birthright citizenship and *bad* records for handling immigrants.

Their methodology is flawed, as well. Many of the issues that are useful measures of left/right polarity are local.

And, of course, left and right matter less these days than populist or sane.

@TruthSandwich just blocked a Brit for it. Hated the Democratic party, thought British cons were further left. Crazy or dishonest, hard to tell.
