I hear a lot that people say the US Democratic Party would be right wing in Europe. But I see a lot of Europeans online say that their (left) parties are corrupt and right wing. What am I missing?

    Easy because the standards… in short the democratic party would be considered far right of acceptable in their country… our republicans would just be laughed out as so fringe it’s ridiculous.

      We laughed at the Republican party maybe 10 years ago, nowadays there are a lot of far right parties getting strong all over Europe =(
