Another political myth I’d love to put to bed: That European politicians are somehow _way more leftist_ than US politicians.
The answer is, as always, it depends on the issue.
On the issue of provision of social services to citizens? Yeah, Western Europe is way to the left of Elizabeth Warren.
In the issue of immigration and immigrant’s rights? Europe is well to the right of Donald Trump.
Free Speech? We’re well to the left of not just Europe, but the whole globe.
Freedom of Religion? Good lord most European States include tithes in your taxes. Europe passes minaret bans and hijab bans and burns down synagogues.
Women’s rights? Really varies country by country.
So. It depends on the issue. A lot.
