The labour party is literally further left than the American Left Wing of Congress lol.
That might have been true under Corbyn, but definitely not now that Keir “I desperately want to be Tony Blair” Starmer has taken over and remade the party in his center right to right wing image.
There is not a single far left politician in Congress.
True.
You have vastly overestimated your understanding of American politics.
From which country are you? What far left would there be on the US? The Democrats are ranging from center left to right-wing, from an EU view.
Saying both sides when there is one side prohibiting books about LGBTQ people, wanting to not allow trans people existing and trying to turn over democracy and the other one… wanting health care, is just utter bullshit.
Lmao. 10% are queer, get over it. Scientific evidence shows that gay animals exist in most species; for trans people look at other comments, it’s not worth my time typing that again.
The only one making dumb noises here is you (even literally: Just look at your sentences and your aggression, looks like you missed out on evolution).
Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.
Debunked horseshoe theory bullshit. There’s no “far left” in the American “parliament” (it’s called the Congress. At least try learning the terms before you start spouting your bullshit).
Besides, even if we DID accept your premise of European style Social Democrats being “far left”, wanting people to have healthcare and a living wage isn’t equivalent to fucking FASCISM in any way.
Also, no ableist slurs, please.
Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline
Keir “I desperately want to be Tony Blair” Starmer’s Labour isn’t left of center. It’s center-right at best.
We the people own the government, not the other way around
Says a guy from the kingdom whose royal family is the number one land owner in the world and has had 3 different Tory PMs since the last election.
Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.
Right on the money (pun intended) with this, though.
You are absolutely correct. And just to prove your point, some American is definitely going to accuse you of being right-wing (since most of lemmy is left) for pointing that out.
There are plenty of good arguments in all the comments reacting to the comment and factually arguing why it’s just wrong. And I don’t even care about their political orientation (as if their blatant homophobic hadn’t given it away), but it doesn’t change whether the statement is right or wrong.
My point was just that your comment was essentially a shield against any disagreeing arguments (that you could say “I told you so” and not need to actually engage with the arguments) but didn’t even provide any arguments on its own.

There are no far left politicians in America
Yeah there are, they just don’t have any power outside of very locally, which sucks.
You’re right that there’s no far left politicians in national office though, if that’s what you actually meant.

Also true. Dude even called Congress Parliament 😆

Wrong. You vastly overestimate the number of stupid bigots in the world.
Wrong again, bigot. People who actually know more than just the very basics disagree with your transphobic misinformation.

What scientific evidence? You’re being extremely unintelligent.
Stop being a fucking ableist bigot. This is the second time I’ve seen you use that word.

What a neat way to directly delegitimize any different opinion, and that even without providing any arguments whatsoever.
Arguments for what? There are plenty of good arguments in the comment I’m responding to.
