- SwellJoe 18y agoThat would be lovely, thanks.
- wheels 18y agoIn Germany if you do an across the board left-shift there's an analogous party structure: - Social Democrats (Democrats) - Christian Democrats (Republicans) - Liberals (Libertarians) - Greens (There's also an additional Marixst party.) Here the Greens and the Liberals (note that "liberal" outside of the US implies classical liberalism) grew up a lot as being a part of main-stream politics. I really wish that were possible in the US because it forces the other points in the political spectrum to actually deal with reality and softens their rhetoric in a pragmatic, but effective way. German Greens nearly as crack-potted as American ones as a result.
