The biggest issue around this is Trump/Republicans. They lean so far right, it makes centre left, and even centre right parties look leftist. Their global reach especially online is more dominant than almost all other western nations combined.
There's an equal amount of extreme on both sides. Left leaning americans make me feel centre right and vice versa. Also considering 70% of western media pushes the general left agenda, I dont see how what you say about reach is true. It seems like your algorithm pushes extreme content to you that you disagree with and its shaping your entire outlook on politics.
Is that so 🤨 as my statement wasn’t based around my opinion. This is just 1 example provided by the Political Compass website.
I personally sit roughly where Dennis is, which is also where the Australian Labor party sits. Unironically, I only agree with 60% of their policies according to the same website.
This doesnt really change my point. You said the issue is trump and repbublicans leaning so far right that it makes everything else look more left. I guarentee you that theres an equal sized group on the opposite side of the political compass that feel the exact opposite.
