The DNC would be center right in Saudi Arabia? By what metric?
What is with the ridiculous hyperbole that's so common when talking about America on the internet, especially by non-Americans? Talk about "American exceptionalism" - just in a different way.
- typon 6y agoI think OP implied "any democratic western nation".
- tathougies 6y agoAh right, the soft ethno-nationalism of implying that the only 'real countries' are the western democratic ones.... great...

- secondcoming 6y agoWell, what's going on in America is being pushed down the throats of everyone in the world. You can hardly read an article without someone mentioning Trump and US politics in general. We may as well join in too!
- tathougies 6y agoIndeed it's quite ridiculous. What they mean to say is that the DNC would be center-right in Europe, which is an incredibly Euro-centric way to look at the world. In reality, if you consider the actual bulk of the planet, which would include mainly China and India, the DNC and RNC dichotomy is rather unclassifiable.
