    Only with the extreme Overton shift in the US. Democrats may be more progressive than Republicans, but that’s really not saying much. Most actual Democrat policy is right of center, to the frustration of representatives like Sanders and AOC.

      Still, what the USA needs is a left party, not a centrist party.

          Yep, and I was happy to vote for them. And will continue to do so. I have no clue why Lemmy refuses to. Practically everything the Socialist party stands for is what Lemmy says is what’s needed.

          Yet come election time, Lemmy was all, “Vote Dems or you’re a traitor!”

          Then sported a shocked pikachu face when they lost. lol

          OK, then what the USA needs is a left party with funds and good advertising.

            while the MSM is mostly owned by conservative, they will make sure any other party dont get press.
