The Democratic party quite obviously does not seek to create a society based around a natural hierarchy of the classes in which power is concentrated among a benevolent landed elite.
I frankly did not realize that paternalism was a central facet of one-nation Toryism. That's...odd.
Regardless, I still don't think it's a stretch to say that, aside from the progressive wing, the Democratic Party is pretty pragmatic on most issues.
Sure, but they are pragmatic with goals that are ultimately at least somewhat left wing. Not exactly the same thing as a right wing party in Europe.
Which tend to be pragmatic with goals towards the right.
