Plus, it boils the entire k-dimensional space that is ideology into one single dimension. On social issues, I would argue Democrats (at least in the past few years) have shifted to become significantly more progressive than most European parties. On economic issues, though, obviously they’re not as left-wing as European counterparts, but still certainly not far-right. This whole “Democrats are far-right” is a silly hasn’t-touched-grass-in-ages leftist circlejerk.

There’s not exactly a shortage of things to complain about Democrats for – I could certainly complain about them for hours on end – but it’s important to actually criticize them for the things they oughta be criticized for, not the leftist equivalent of “I did that” stickers on gas pumps whenever gas prices go up.

And all of the above is still ignoring that economics alone is a k-dimensional space all its own, not just one single dimension.
