The US has moved so far to the right compared to the rest of the world, and most notably Europe, almost all of the Democratic party politicians have also moved to the ‘authoritarian right’ along with our government and the Bush regime excluding a few notable exceptions like Sen. Sanders of Vermont and the only liberal in ‘de house’, Kucinich. Other than those few Democrat exceptions, democratic party politicians are no longer centrist, but moderate conservatives based on their voting records, policies and speeches. McCain-Palin platform, policies and speeches put them at Hitlerian levels of right wing authoritarianism, also known as fascism.

From the doctorate degreed professors, and political experts on global political ideologies and values at political compass: “While Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader are depicted on the extreme left in an American context, they would simply be mainstream social democrats within the wider political landscape of Europe. Similarly, Obama is popularly perceived as a leftist in the United States while elsewhere in the west his record is that of a moderate conservative. For example, in the case of the death penalty he is not an uncompromising abolitionist, while mainstream conservatives in all other western democracies are deeply opposed to capital punishment. The Democratic party’s presidential candidate also reneged on his commitment to oppose the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He sided with the ultra conservative bloc in the Supreme Court against the Washington DC handgun ban and for capital punishment in child rape cases. He supports President Bush’s faith-based initiatives and is reported in Fortune to have said that NAFTA isn’t so bad.”

Take the political compass political values ‘type’ indicator test yourself by clicking here. Stop guessing about your own political ideology and if a genuine ‘liberal’, [progressive] stop voting against your own political values and your conscious by voting for a corporatist Neoliberal ‘authoritarian right’ moderate conservative…. It’s the only way Americans will actually get what they want from their government.

Which of these would be farther to the right on the conservative/liberal continuum?

1. republican
2. democrat

Now tell me how having more of #2 and fewer of #1 makes for a more conservative Democratic party?

In any event, FDR called himself neither a capitalist nor a socialist but rather a Christian. The same could probably be said about Obama–despite the sorry fact that the usual bumpkins yokels and louts insist that he is a crypto-Islamist Afro-Leninist. Utter folly persists.

What happened to the SU can happen to the US.

Furthermore, great and good things can and have come out of all kinds of cultures and civilizations.

The success of the democratic socialist model of the Scandinavian countries is always conveniently ignored by the blighting connedserfaturd bug-eyed megaphoners of Flea Market Crapitalism.

Engage in self-criticism. Contribute something intelligent and practicable to the world instead of the same tired old dead mean-spirited rotten-to-the-core neo-Confederate ideology that has brought America to its current economic impasse.

including only the nominees of the two major parties I presume?

There Bay, fixed the punctuation for you.

How are you going to deal with the injustices that are coming your way?

“When Capitalism tanks the People jog left.”

Yeah and when socialism tanks countries dissolve.

That applies when socialism and/or capitalism tank. So…Better get a new head…!

Get over it btch, you lost. We have been saying for years now that your ilk does not represent America. You should pick up a newspaper. Something monumental happened yesterday that you really should know about before you start talking about “our country”.

The general strike and mass consumer boycott can bring down the house.

That’s your definition, and it is not widely accepted as accurate.

The right-wing lost. Face it.

It is the right that will have to give up some of what they want, because the people have spoken and rejected their vision for America.

As I said, eat guano little twatster.

Read the writing on the wall, we are a left of center country and will get increasingly so as more and more of the old school racists and haters die off and are replaced with younger, more tolerant and (GASP!) more liberal voters.

Wasteful government spending (on illegal wars, on bailing out corporations ruined by greed, on defense systems that have failed to show any signs of ever working, on suppressing the rights of legal voters to vote) is a conservative trait.

Is the widdy booboo having a bad day?
