Nah it’s not just you, we get confused USians in here all the time 😄. Liberal parties are right of center in most countries i think. They certainly are here in Germany, in Australia the major conservative party is called the “liberal party of australia” just to name two examples.
The confusion I think comes from the fact that the US only has two parties that kept drifting further and further right ever since WW2. The far right fascists and the center-right moderate right wing. So a lot of people look at the dems as the “left” wing since, relative to the only other party, they are. But if you look at the other parties, green party, dsa, psl etc. You’ll see that the dems are to the right of all of them.
Also people have a hard time grasping the difference between economically left/right and socially the opposite. So it encourages throwing each other under the bus, like it’s necessarily a zero-sum* game, which is rubbish.
Ah yeah I had a really good article about pitting the individual against the collective but I can’t find it sadly…
I hope if you happen upon it again, you’ll DM it to me. It would be so useful in discussions like these.
Wishing you happiness and health, fam.
Yeah I’m kinda bummed about not finding it, it was really insightful. Same to you 💚
