It's interesting that the US electorate is reasonably left-wing, but the political options stop at what would otherwise be known as the center.

Sure, there's a loud contingent of drooling-out-of-their-eyeballs neocon types, but not enough to justify the share of power they have.
This ain't no democracy. This a fraud, son.

If your political options don't reflect the majority position on even a fraction of topics, that's a pretty good indication that there are no options.

I'll never understand or respect that contingent of US liberals who demand they protect democracy by voting Dem when (TOTAL COINCIDENCE YOU GUYS) it coincides with their interests.

Norway was majority social democrat (or farther left) for a long time, but you always had the option of voting for your neoliberal shills or conservatives (even nazis) if that's what you believe in.
Because, you know, that's an actual democratic norm.

Our closest analogue to the Republicans are currently sharing power with our closest analogue to the Dems... actually our cabinet is literally the entire spectrum of US politics, sans US conceits.
Not because it's smart, but because people are allowed to vote on their beliefs.
