"asckhually, in europe the democrats would be considered right-wing. because europe is far far more left than america is"

I've been seeing this statement for years and it's extremely obvious it's parroted by people who don't know anything about European politics, or are confusing the entire continent of Europe with some Scandinavian country. Especially in the last few years, there's a fuckton of explicitly racist, nationalist, and classist parties in Europe (classism being what the words left and right originally refer to btw)
