    Why are you strawmanning my point by comparing him to Norway alone? Why are you insisting that the prrsence of a right wing indicates they’re not further left than us? Are you denying the very existence of right wing people outside of the US?

    Remember: Many of those countries have proportional representation, so the mere presence of a ringht winger in a position of power is not an indication the entire place supports them.

      You said he was center-right in Europe so I picked the ur-example of the progressive ideal in Europe to show you he is not, in fact, center-right.

      Where in Europe do you believe Sanders is center-right, and in what ways are those countries indicative of the EU as a whole?

      You specifically mention the world stage - do you believe most of the world is more or less progressive than the EU?

      You accuse me of strawmanning, but unlike you, I’m actually responding to things you say and not shit I make up. Scroll up and read the thread man.
