Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.

Debunked horseshoe theory bullshit. There's no "far left" in the American "parliament" (it's called the Congress. At least try learning the terms before you start spouting your bullshit).

Besides, even if we DID accept your premise of European style Social Democrats being "far left", wanting people to have healthcare and a living wage isn't equivalent to fucking FASCISM in any way.

Also, no ableist slurs, please.

Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline

Keir "I desperately want to be Tony Blair" Starmer's Labour isn't left of center. It's center-right at best.

We the people own the government, not the other way around

Says a guy from the kingdom whose royal family is the number one land owner in the world and has had 3 different Tory PMs since the last election.

Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.

Right on the money (pun intended) with this, though.
