    They’re centrist. They’re only right wing compared to you, for whom 99% of the world is “right wing”.

      They’re right-wing according to the rest of the world. Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world. It’s only US voters that think their party is on the left

        Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world.

        Just utterly and completely wrong, Bernie would be firmly within the populist/socialist left of Europe, and probably the rest of the world too.

          The socialist left of Europe wants a UBI, forced dismantlement of megacorps in favour of cooperatives, harsh wealth taxes on net worth, separation of investment and commercial banking and so on. In comparison, Bernie wants a functional public healthcare system, and US oligarchs to pay at least some taxes.
