> The GND is not about being green, it's about redistributing wealth No idea what the GND does and what they proclaim, the Greens I mentioned are the ones in my country, which isn't the US. As far as I understand nothing else than Reps and Dems matter anyways. > AOC is a radical I don't think so, but that could also be due to me not being from the US. Lots of things my country does would be wrongfully labeled as socialist, communist or radical in the US. So its no susprise to me that AOC gets labeled as radical in the US, even though she still seems pretty tame to me. I do welcome that she's more left than what I usually hear from Democrats. EDIT: In order for you to understand me a bit better - If I'd be able to vote in the US, I would've voted for Bernie Sanders.

  No joke, I agree on the vast majority of things he says. I say vast majority because I assume there are things he thinks that I don't know and see different. Else, everything I hear from him is basically what I think, give or take some small adjustments. You could call me a Socialist, and I would be fine with it. However, I would never support an authoritarian or non-democratic system. In my opinion my country has the best political system which currently exists, so I feel fortunate for that. Still, I don't find it to be perfect. Too much lobby-ism, aka. corruption. Too much influence by industries. At least everyone has a vote and everyone can technically start a process to bring change. Healthcare, critical infrastructure, essentials and maybe more should belong to the people of a country. The US seems to be a country belonging to those who own the most of it. Businessmen, politicians and so on. Markets have to be regulated and controlled. Tax avoidance is no different to me than tax evasion. Yada yada, feel free to ask more questions about my opinions, but I guess this is a good start.
