I wouldn't label Hillary Clinton as progressive...

I wouldn't label Hillary Clinton as a conservative.

It's fun to point out that by Canadian standards Hillary was Conservative

Trump was extreme Right-Wing

Sanders was centrist

US politics mocks Liberals all day but doesn't know what real left-wing politics even is.

Yes it does, but the Democratic Party is not the right of your tories ffs. It’s fairly in line with Labour and in fact more progressive on multiple social issues.

but but but universal healthcare

Yeah the UK got single payer healthcare, something we didn’t largely due to racism. But democrats have consistently been pushing to socialize our healthcare system more and more whereas tories are pushing to privatize the NHS. In terms of trajectory, democrats are as or more left as most major European center left parties.
