And whenever you look further in the comment chain you realize, that the image people have of the Dems and their actually policies and behaviour are vastly different. The Dems are a right to far right party by any normal countries standard. They just managed to gaslight the american people into accepting them as the “lesser” of two evils and believe that to be the best they can ever hope for. Meanwhile the “lesser” evil grows bigger and bigger at every election.
The person who came closest to winning as a third party was a racist former VP running on a campaign of upholding slavery despite any ruling SCOTUS made. Look it up. No alternate candidate has any hope of winning.
I bet it is easier to get to leftism under an administration like Biden, dead wrong but “students have a right to protest,” vs. any Repub, dead wrong and also “send in the National Guard to get these students” or “nuke Gaza.”
Also the Repubs did an insurrection and want to stop votes from counting ever again.

Except on social issues, but who cares about those? And they used to be left of European parties when it came to immigration, but they’ve recently moved closer to the xenophobic European position. Oh and they’re very clearly left of Labour now too.
By the way, would you like to clarify what you mean by “normal countries”? I’m assuming here that you meant European, since that’s generally what people mean, but it’s pretty fucked up to say that normal = European, don’t you think?
Normal countries include all democracies around the world. You will find social democrats, greens, socialists and sometimes even communists there next to conservatives, neoliberals and fascists. The Dems are neoliberals/conservatives with some LGBT rights sprinkled in, but their social policies are deeply antisocial and often racist. Their immigration policies are fascist with running internment camps and building border walls. Their economic stance is fuck the poor, but only so much that there is still some white middle class left and their foreign policy is murder everything that is not aligned with their economic and power interests, as we see with the current genocide.
All of this is right to far right by normal standards, except the gay rights, but even deeply catholic Ireland managed to get same sex marriage before the US.
