Comment on Oh look, the Biden administration is building the wall (not a joke, it just waived 26 laws to make this happen!)

My point is, that dems are in fact left wing. It’s a subjective claim, to be sure, but when most of the world is to the right of America, and the leftmost major party of America falls inline with a lot of the left wing views, (like with transpeople and abortion), surely they’re left wing enough.

In the hyper right wing U.S., sure, but on an absolute scale not even close.

most of the world is to the right of America

Yeah, that’s not true.

  I think you and I have fundementally different ideas of what is left and what is right. And fair enough, the terms are quite vague. Are we talking socially like with trans people, economically like with communism, both?
  
  In any case, I think of America as center-left, with a lot of political diversity, and dems to the left of that median. Generally speaking of course.

    I generally mean both when I use those terms.

    If you were just talking about the people itself and not existing policy, sure, only barely. But you can’t just ignore existing policy.
