We have it worse because we are a hegemon. Most countries don't have to take a stance on imperalism because they lack the resources to actually engage in it and outsource it to us.
Overall, my point is to show that the Democrats are not a monolith and have internal factions, and on a number of issues, we are more left than other issues on the planet. If the main thing you care about is foreign affairs, you are always going to be disappointed, hell, I am. The Deep State is in charge of that and it's basically outside of the political system.
I agree with much of this post. I'm not complaining about why it is so. You are right about real politic, I just disagree with the suggestion that the Dems are uniquely of the left.
Sorry I deleted my post, I don't mean to leave it like that where it looks like your talking to yourself. I don't think dems are uniquely of the left, I just think there are rising left wing factions in the Democratic party and I don't think the situation is as hopeless as people think it is as a binary choice between center-right and the right wing. And I really don't think Europe is really much better off in this regard.
Have an update anyway!
