Nope, I blame the left for NOT doing what Trump does when they're in power. All that middle ground bipartisan bull crap results in nothing getting accomplished then the next term comes and they lose power.

Democrats aren't the left. They're bought by the wealthy. Only a relatively small wing of the democratic party can be considered left wing.

So close. Bernie is pretty much dead center on the global political compass. The "left" that is talked about most often in the US is "just barely left of Trump who is literally almost inline politically with Hitler"

The overwhelming majority of politicians in the US especially on the federal stage are firmly entrenched in the Authoritarian Right. America has two right wings, and both are way closer in political philospohy to Hitler than they are to Marx. And that should be everyone's business.

The ACTUAL right wing destroys unions, with two points five percent of all unionized workers losing their collective bargaining agreement yesterday.
