The GOP Is Now A Fascist Party-- Has That Made The Democrats A Fundamentally Conservative Party?
"Democrats" is an amazingly broad term that mostly encompasses "almost anything that isn't Republicans". It isn't so much a unified monolith as an alliance of often polar opposite interests banding together only because the GOP is the only real alternative. Were the GOP to disappear tomorrow, I guarantee the Democratic party would almost instantly split into dozens of smaller parties, or possibly into two again. Compared to most of Europe, an American "Democrat" is a centrist or even a right wing neoliberal. People like Bernie Sanders, who is viewed as a far-left outright communist in America, would barely count as center left in most of Western Europe.
This is by design. A crazy party holds everyone else hostage so that reasonable and needed reforms are prevented.
As a game strategy it's pretty fascinating but as a person subject to its outcomes it's nausea-inducing
Exactly!! America provides numerous options in all things aside from politics. Almost as if they're trying to control the masses...
I'm really sorry, but GOP is not a monolith too. (Though I'm not a US citizen and haven't even been there.)
Say, plenty of people calling themselves libertarian (but in fact being mundane classic liberals) vote for it, judging by those interwebs. =\
Bernie is in some things really a communist (I'm not saying he's a bolshevik FFS). In some other things I wouldn't even say he's a leftist, though.
Some of his positions are amazingly sane, and some would mean an economical burden that could become catastrophic in 10 years.
