It’s almost funny how long it takes for you guys to realize. From a European perspective it has always been obvious that a left wing party in the US is still a right wing party compared to European actually left wing parties.
We started the Korean war in 1950, America has been doing this since WW2. Probably we can consider the date earlier as well, the Spanish American war was about slurping up colonies, with a small few decades of isolationism in between
I’ll never forget when American Republicans went to go meet with European Republicans and the European Republicans were like… “Oh you guys are fucking Nazis.”
I don’t know if it’s really taken that long. A lot of politically active Americans have been saying this for going on 40 years now.
The crushing defeat of Mondale in 84 led the party to abandon anything even remotely working class, then Clinton’s “triangulation strategy” in the 90s cemented the Dems as a center / center-right party.
I remember reading articles in 2004 about how the Overton window had shifted so much that Dems were right wing.

Almost funny, until we remember that thanks to their iperindividualism and right wing mentality we have had constant wars for the last 70 years.
Yes that tends to spoil the fun

Yes of course some people have realized this for decades. Yet I don’t think there has ever even been an actually left wing candidate?
Let’s hope the majority adopting the sentiment means you guys can establish a functional democracy some day.
The Democratic party seeks to destroy left wing candidates.
