    Conservative =/= Republican. Some of the perceptions in the US are skewed so far to the right that you don’t even realise how conservative the Democratic Party is. In a lot of other countries in the world, there are like 3-4 major parties left of where Obama stood, but only like 1, maybe 2, right of him.

      Hell Bernie Sanders is to the right to most European countries. They just don’t know what conservative means.

      jfc first he was howling about Obama but now they’re defending Republicans. Do you have any idea where you are right now, son?

        Bro, please actually read what the comment you’re replying to are actually saying. You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.

          I recognize your username, I don’t think I’ve ever had any pleasant interactions with you and now here you are telling me to listen to an appeal for the 21st century nazi party.

            What part of the comment you’re complaining about is saying good things about Republicans?

            Or did you stop after seeing they put it in?

              Intentional or not this paragraph is a defence of the Republican party, ans I fully believe it is intentional. The only way conservatives like this can feel any sense of justification is to bring their enemies down to their level.

                No this is showing how we don’t have a left party in the usa while people are worried Mamdani will end up like Obama did after the DNC gets more involved.

                Being critical of how the dems are failing the country is vital, not something that makes one instantly a conservative.

            You need to try and read first before replying, then maybe I’d have better things to say about you. You can’t expect me to praise you for either being thickheaded enough to not get what people are actually saying or for misrepresenting what people are saying because you don’t have an actual argument, can you?
