And they still find so much to bicker about. I wonder how European coalition governments look like to Americans.
Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?

Your whole political spectrum is from right to far right to us. There is no liberal or left at all.

If you think that, then you don’t know much about our political spectrum. Or—more likely—you’re just trolling.

Wow. First, no I’m not trolling. But we have a bit more open view in Europe. You’ve just got all corporate control with a lot of propaganda in the US. If you’re open to it, I invite you on research on countries with more than 2 (and even almost identical) parties and without backing of the rich.
Yes I might be off about your spectrum, but the last deeper research I read was that over the decades your two right wing options narrowed down even more and by now they’re indistinguishable (for the common folk. Of course it would be better not to have trump but you have more political issues than that).

Considering our political spectrum includes both democratic socialists that model their politics off of European leftist examples and actual communists who think China is a good model to follow, I’m pretty sure you don’t know what you’re talking about.

OK name one party on the left that you could vote and would count?
I am only aware of dem and rep.

Liberal is right wing

Okay now, this is surprising. Either your statement is way off or the definition of liberal is wildly different between US and EU.
But liberal is definitely not right but center between left and right. But ad said, maybe that’s the European view.
