We do not have a left. I honestly am impressed at the system that has somehow made the democrats seem like "the left".

They're quite literally right wing politicians. Their primary difference with Republicans are that "we have a good thing going for our pockets right now, let's not shock the boat too much."

There are _exceptions_ to democrats that may be considered _slightly left_, but those are exceptions. Not the norm.

Not that old talking point. American left and right are judged on an American left/right scale.

According to the American scale, everyone but the Republicans are some flavor of Communist. The American scale is useless.
