"The left doesn't exist"

The right, headed by Trumpy pants himself, seem to be on a campaign to declare every person that labels them self as left wing as fake. So.. who is the left now? Is it possible to be left in the USA? I can't decide whether these tactics are actually dangerous or whether its just a rhetoric that will blow over.

Yeah, because THAT won't cause any problems.

Maybe the people who think, say, and would fight for the removal of our gold plated president are the real threats to this country.

Truly dangerous, because it's utter lunacy. The majority is left of center, and when it all gets broken down by positions, even more are farther left than they realize, socially in particular. Most of the more fiscally conservative don't even want most of the social programs cut.

It's the idiot politicians that have moved right.

"IF WE TAKE OUT THE LEFT THEN NONE ARE LEFT!" Some white rich man

"I don't hate the left people, they're a great people I mean they are rap-"

"Artists... Rap artists..." Says the autocorrecting Telecom which he needs even in private board meetings.

"Yes what was it I was saying? Yes those leftie folk, very bad for the nation my Parents woulda slapped me silly if I'd been left handed and then slipped $200 in my pocket for being a good boy once I picked up the pen in my other hand."

Silence and awkward glances

"Yes, so let's... Wait what does this say?" He stammers

"Jesus, could we not find a better puppet than this guy?" Comes a dark unidentified voice from beneath... 666 forms in the floor...

Hey Atrag,

The left truly does not exist in America because both major parties are right of centre. In Europe, the left/right spectrum is much wider.

The American centre has progressively been shifted further and further right over time.

Not the people - the politicians have moved right. Sure there are exceptions, like the bible belt, but there is no greater bastion of ignorance in all of the Americas. They know they want one thing, and still vote against it.

That's what I just said. But you will also find the majority of people have followed suit, for the obvious reason that they don't want to feel like political outcasts. The American citizenry is without question further right than the European citizenry.

Politics works in a similar manner to news. The TV/newspapers tell people what the news is and they discuss it. Politicians tell people what the political choices are and they discuss them. In this, both are able to set the parameters for public debate. They don't control the answers, but they do control the questions.

Why don't we examine the source of your claim? Put it to scrutiny so we can see what actually was being said?
