Right, but what kind of conclusion can be made here? Is US too right? Or Europe is too left? Or both are off and the optimal society requires much lefter/righter policies?
- groby_b 6y agoI'm not sure you can draw any conclusion here. (Except, seemingly, "I don't like this, don't have any rational argument, and so should downvote" ;) The only one that you can make, based on the data, is that US politics trend much further right than many other places, and that talking about "Democrats" and "the left" in the same breath doesn't make any sense in a global context. They just aren't. And I think that is very relevant when you want to talk about US politics. It defines the available spectrum.
