    If you want to see far right evils, all you need is to look at the news. The comment you replied to contains a straightforward example. Could you tell us which evils the far left is committing right now?

      Are you off the opinion, then, that no evil is done by the Dems, or farther-left people and politicians? I’m not American, and I won’t now compare to the countries I have lived in. But from what I hear, for starters the Dems are much accused of taking money from big companies to influence policy - and the blocking of Sanders for presidential bid was suggested to be that. The pharmaceutical industry, whilst nobly providing the world with COVID vaccines and many other great things, is not exactly known for its honest policies. People more specifically? I don’t care to take the time to look at their lives, since I’m not part of your country and don’t vote for them. Will you claim to me that Bernie does no wrong? That Biden has no hypocrisy? That latter I remember a couple of notable incidents.

      Yes the far right evil is plain and obvious these days. That will not mean the Left, or Centre, will do no wrong if in power. I think quite a small look at history will show that, but my experience is outside of America. Maybe the Dems in America are saintly and perfect? Loving and incorruptible? Putting their country first in every situation and caring for all people fairly, not letting money sway their interest? What lucky people you are, to have such a party! How strange, that so large a percentage of your countrymen could not see the perfection that shines in the Dems! How unnecessary, that every day I see on Lemmy pro-Dem propaganda that twists the truth and sensationalises the mundane; for with such a perfect party, you could stick plainly to the truth, and their goodness would shine out without problem.

      It must be nice in America to know you have a political side entirely without evil. For such a side I have not seen in the world.

        None of what you complained about is the far left, but rather the center/right of the Democratic party.

        To be clear, the far left doesn’t have political representation in America, so you can’t give actual examples because those would require the far left actually had power.

        But if you think Biden, a literal fucking segregationist, represents the far left, then you don’t actually know what the left is.
