if obama was in england ... he'd join ukip
I'm sure they'd love his immigration executive order.
yeah but merkel and rajoy would feel at home in the congressional progressive caucus
To be less glib than above,
yes the Democrats are left-wing. Arguing things like "no the political centre is actually to their left" is completely
meaningless. (I would argue that arguing about where "the political centre" is is inherently meaningless; and devolves to stupid debates like "who is closer to the centre - Abraham Lincoln or Barack Obama?".
And as much as I'd love to be a snobby European and say "Oh merricans with their guns and jesus and money ZOMG so right-wing" (pretty much the extent of most UK political analysis of the American scene); it doesn't hold water. Imagine if the Republicans proposed a UKIP - heck even Conservative/Labour - style immigration policy?
