    Sort of.

    American politics are so far to the right that the comparison isn’t really… Sane.

    Like Bernie Sanders is considered a radical left there, whilst here he’s probably (I haven’t checked out his policies since 2016) he’s more centrist, with a left lean iirc

      Is he though? I think that’s mostly media spin, a lot of people supported him and the DNC chair had all but admitted (maybe she has, I don’t follow super close) to sabotaging him.

      He had some pretty wild socialist dreams, that I am sure he buried and held a funeral for after Trumps election. If I remember right there was some literature about incentivizing ownership of capital by the workers through tax incentives. Essentially kind of making workers automatically small shareholders, sounded cool if I understood it correctly. Was a long time ago… dudes been at it forever.
