David Todd McCarty on Nostr: The funniest thing about America’s “radical left” is that it doesn’t exist. ...
The funniest thing about America’s “radical left” is that it doesn’t exist. Our “most radical leftists” are considered centrists, or even center-right, by the rest of the world.
You can’t say that we have no left, as it’s a political spectrum, it’s just different here. We’re a strangely conservative country.
We do have a radical right though. So radical, they no longer believe in democracy.
