minus-squareperegrin5@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-27 days ago Bernie is only barely left of center to the rest of the world When people say dumbass shit like this it makes me wonder what part of the world they are talking about. All of Africa: right wing compared to America Most of South America: right wing compared to America Pretty much all of Asia: right wing compared to America Middle East: lmao Russia: lmao Europe: about 70% right wing compared to America with a handful of countries that might be maybe considered left wing but are sliding right as well. The British Commonwealth: about the same as America except for the healthcare aspect. Maybe you consider Antarctica left wing?

minus-squareBeNotAfraid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 days agoSpoken like someone who cannot speak a single language outside of American English, who has never met a Western European. We are not a monoculture.
minus-squareperegrin5@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoQuite a lot of assumptions you have there and still not one real refutation of any of my points. Lol.
minus-squareBeNotAfraid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoYou make one point, over and over. So, I refuted it, with a single point. If you don’t understand, that, well… think of it like this. There’s no value in explaining spark plugs to my dog, but she can still hang out in the garage with me while I change them.
