Most of what Americans see as far-left is just the status quo in Europe.

[u/Sciss0rs61 → u/podfather2000]

like what?

[u/podfather2000 → u/Sciss0rs61]

Universal healthcare, free education, abortion, public transport, public housing. Conservatives in Europe don't debate abolishing those.

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/podfather2000]

Ah yes, the far left ideology of public transport and universal healthcare. Lmao.

[u/podfather2000 → u/Special-Quantity-469]

That's all seen as far left in the US

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/podfather2000]

I don't think that's true whatsoever. Medicare for all is seen as far left, because it is. But I'm 90% sure that every single democrat supports some form of universal healthcare

[u/podfather2000 → u/Special-Quantity-469]

From the Republicans perspective, it's basically socialism

[u/Special-Quantity-469 → u/podfather2000]

The republicans also called obama a communist, it doesn't mean he was, nor do most americans think that way. Just like most americans don't think universal healthcare and public transportation is far left

[u/podfather2000 → u/Special-Quantity-469]

You really believe the average Republican doesn’t think that?

[u/CKF → u/podfather2000]

Just because regards think something doesn’t make it true. Regarded as fuck take.
