        Yeah there are, they just don’t have any power outside of very locally, which sucks.

        You’re right that there’s no far left politicians in national office though, if that’s what you actually meant.

      If you can’t make your point without being an ableist ass, maybe don’t bother making it at all (in this case, you’ve not only shown yourself off as an ableist, but as one who has zero understanding of US politics, too, so you’ve really contributed nothing of any value, and have just made the community more hostile, great job)

      The labour party is literally further left than the American Left Wing of Congress lol.

      There is not a single far left politician in Congress. You have vastly overestimated your understanding of American politics.

        The labour party is literally further left than the American Left Wing of Congress lol.

        That might have been true under Corbyn, but definitely not now that Keir “I desperately want to be Tony Blair” Starmer has taken over and remade the party in his center right to right wing image.

        There is not a single far left politician in Congress.

        True.

        You have vastly overestimated your understanding of American politics.

        Also true. Dude even called Congress Parliament 😆

      Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.

      Debunked horseshoe theory bullshit. There’s no “far left” in the American “parliament” (it’s called the Congress. At least try learning the terms before you start spouting your bullshit).

      Besides, even if we DID accept your premise of European style Social Democrats being “far left”, wanting people to have healthcare and a living wage isn’t equivalent to fucking FASCISM in any way.

      Also, no ableist slurs, please.

      Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline

      Keir “I desperately want to be Tony Blair” Starmer’s Labour isn’t left of center. It’s center-right at best.

      We the people own the government, not the other way around

      Says a guy from the kingdom whose royal family is the number one land owner in the world and has had 3 different Tory PMs since the last election.

      Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.

      Right on the money (pun intended) with this, though.

      You are absolutely correct. And just to prove your point, some American is definitely going to accuse you of being right-wing (since most of lemmy is left) for pointing that out.
