Talk to anyone outside of the US. They’ll tell you that we do not have a true left in this country and really never have. Our entire political environment is so far to the right, dems are like center-right if anything- they won’t even take a solid stance on healthcare which is insane compared to every other similarly developed country’s stance on it (which is to have a single payer healthcare system or some other way to make it affordable btw)
I understand that the US has a right leaning climate, however within that climate the central deviation (67% of people) still identify as not being properly/fully represented by either party. I understand there are clear give and takes but the fact that those people have to choose a side and sacrifice some of their opinions demonstrates why the two party system is faulty.
