It's so weird hearing new american-made words, they always sound strangely adorable.

I'd just call it a shitbox, but hoopty sounds so wholesome in comparison.

Is that really what they want though? I mean, they might say they do, but they just had a full four years in office and medication still costs ~10x more than it does where I live.

If you broke your arm, how much would the hospital bill set you back?

In my country, it costs $0. The leading centre-left and centre-right parties both support this, despite being political opponents.

Yet your supposed leftist party doesn't appear to have done much more than talk about it.

Democrats are certainly very left wing in comparison to republicans, but not on a global political scale.

No shit.
If I was American, there’s no way I’d be voting for anything right of the democrats because the democrats are already centre-right in many areas.

Is this a thing?
Do cops literally come to your door and ask if you know any immigrants?
That’s wild.

No idea, I never said the democrats disagreed with any of that.
I was asking why you think I sound more right wing than democrats.

If you want me to come up with things that make the democrats look right-wing, look at healthcare and education.

Please explain to me how voting to support gay marriage, while not forcing people to go against their religious beliefs is right wing?
I’m of the opinion that the government shouldn’t be allowed to force people to do anything, and they shouldn’t be able to deny people from doing anything that doesn’t harm or impact anyone else.

I totally support trans rights, because the government shouldn’t be able to decide what you do with your own body.

I support abortion for any reason, because you shouldn’t be forced to raise a child if you aren’t 100% prepared to.

I think all teenagers should have access to puberty blockers if they desire, because it’s not the government’s business. If they’re concerned about teenagers not being mature enough to decide to transition, you should at least set them up with the tools necessary to make that decision further down the line.

All doctors should be forced to provide the appropriate medical attention for trans people, regardless of their beliefs, because healthcare is 100% necessary for everyone and should have no biases or politics.

But marriage ceremonies don’t need to be performed by devout catholics/christians/whatever.
There can be marriage ceremonies held by atheists, agnostics, or people of any religion. So there’s no need to force overly religious people who disagree with it into performing the ceremonies.
You’re forcing them to give up their beliefs (however stupid they may be) when it isn’t necessary.

No, I’m just trying to understand your logic.
A silent nazi sits at a table with three other silent people. Now they are all nazis?

Yes I'm glad you can do simple addition, but how's your reading comprehension?

You're talking to a bunch of Americans. Their democrats are centre-right and their republicans are further right, so a centrist over there is just right-wing.
I also consider myself mostly left leaning, but I'm a bit centrist on a few issues.

Eg; I 100% support gay marriage and voted yes in my country's referendum, but I don't think all religious people should be forced to do gay weddings.
I recognise that's a slippery slope which could lead to exclusion, but forcing somebody who despises you to do your wedding doesn't seem like a good idea for anyone involved.
