They aren't two extremes. Democrats are somewhere around center. It's just the spectrum in the US is shifted vastly right as a whole.

- ars 8y agoOr maybe the EU (which you are comparing to) is shifted vastly to the left? How do you know which it is? But it's irrelevant, for the electorate in question, Democrats are most definitely not center.
- ikiris 8y agoNowhere did I mention the EU at all. I was using an absolute scale, and yes, frankly the democrats are a bit right of center. I mean if you declare the electorate the spectrum, then nothing means anything, because its all a completely meaningless fluid definition which has no basis in actual reality.
