Liberals are socially leftist. LGBTQ stuff, women empowerment, environment stuff, pro universal healthcare, ...
Personally I view american politics as right wingers compared to west Europe, but oh well.
They still are viewed as a hundred million people on this planet that vote for the left side of their country's politicians.
It's not that easy with USA. Bernie Sanders is likely the most left wing there. AOC likely the same.
Joe Biden was less left wing, but he still helped people out during the pandemic compared to what republican's would have done.
Here in Belgium you have more choice. You can choose between anti immigration, regionalists, liberals, Christian centrists, environmentalists, social democrats and Marxists.
Broader choice. Here in Belgium the left wing is considered environmentalists, social democrats and Marxists.
While liberals, although socially left wing, are economically right wing. Basically the party for the small entrepreneurs. The other right wing party is more for the multinationals. While the anti immigration party actually is quite socialist economically, but the same old "own people first" shit. It just so happens that being a conservative in Belgium means being somewhat of a socialist economically.
Pretty funny, there's not much difference between extreme right and extreme left here. Basically just.. is the socialist a racist or not lol
Until the second it becomes evident that they might have to stand up for any of that.
Nah, America really spread a lot of information throughout the world on these things. So much even that people got sick of it.
America is all about branding, sure they might not structurally provide a good system for these people, but they do grant them a good brand to use.
The public opinion of these people have mooned quite a bit.
If your own child was on the LGBT+ spectrum and was right now in the US, your take would have been way different.
I'm pro Europe on all fronts. I think we're better. So I agree lol.
