[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um ok, you being from Germany explains why you like MoCo, but some Americans don't.

[quote]I personally have a lot of criticism about the American government and the hyper-privatized nature of institutions, whereas MoCo’s system of governance gives me more of a Northern European vibe. I think most of the council and Elrich especially would align with center-left pro-labor coalitions which is very normal. [/quote]

[b]My spouse is a Brit and says the liberals here are more like  the moderate conservatives in the UK[/b].  The US is more to the right politically than most of Europe. So yea, I could see why you like MoCo govt.[/quote]

My spouse is European too and used to say the same...but he thinks the current WH would be considered far-left back home in most social aspects. [/quote]
I think it depends on the European country.  And which part specifically is the WH more far left than Europe?[/quote]

The pronouns and trans stuff.

The identity politics.

The extremist "my body my choice" position which ignores the baby's body and reasonable compromises.

The justification of violence during the blm/ antifa riots.

The sympathy for regimes like Cuba or Venezuela.

The vilification of math and merit as "racist."

Cancel culture.

The arrogance vs. blue collar workers and vs. "fly-over" states.

And he can go on and on...

(in Europe he's always voted for a socialdemocrat party)[/quote]
