    I dunno how else to explain it, bub. America is in the world, so I use the world’s political scale.

      Why the fuck would you do that? It’s not a global political contest. It’s one internal to the United States.

        Either I’m not understanding the question, or you’ve got some weird ideas about politics. America does not exist outside the context of the world, why the fuck wouldn’t I consider the full range of politics when evaluating an internal contest?

                  I think you have a hate boner for America and you just go around trying to pick fights on topics that have NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH THIS so you can scream about how goddamn cool you are for hating America.

                  We get it. You’re not like the other kids. You’re so cool and edgy and countercultural. Now sit the fuck down and quit embarrassing yourself.

                    The only person embarassing themselves here is the one getting bent out of shape to the point of capslock-shouting at some rando on the internet who doesn’t agree with them.

                    You could have said nothing or just blocked me and gone on with your life, but you need people like me to support your candidate or else, so you take personal offense to the entirely-uncontroversial opinion that the Democrats are only “Left” when the window of acceptable politics is constrained to them and the Republicans.

                No, no. Lets be extremely clear here.

                You think America is exceptional among countries on Earth for some reason, right? It’s special so it gets to have its own special definitions for common political terms, right?

                Elaborate on that for me, if you would.
