    So, I live in a European country where our right-wing politics would probably be considered “left” by Republican Americans.

    I vote sort of central. Not too left, not too right. Even though I disagree with many things that our rightwinged politicians stand for, I can see some merit in them at times. The same with our left-leaning politicians.

    When I see discussions among Americans, it seems to me either party just hates the other party, automatically calling them bigoted. And it comes across as a heavily divided country without any hope for reconciliation.

    So 2 questions: Republicans: is there any democratic strength you wish your party would implement?

    And democrats: is there any republican strength that you wish your party would implement?

      Yeah, Biden and the DNC probably fall mid right in halls neck of the woods (or a neutral l/r spectrum at least)

      I’m far more left than democrats, but I’m all for the conceptual Republican that doesn’t really exist - somebody who wants to keep an eye on the balance of things, like ensuring govt contracts are on the level and priced appropriately instead of being massive handouts for billionaires on the taxpayer dime.
