I don't know what you are talking about. American politics is almost inherently right-wing.

Elizabeth Warren, despite her populist rhetoric, is a centrist at best. There is no American left-wing.
To be fair, the socialists seem to split up into a million different factions and a million different parties. No other political ideology has that problem.

60%? You must be joking. It's more like 30%.

I seriously hope the latter is the case, and to be honest, with the lunatic fringes, it's really believable and possible.

Just remember that radicals you see on TV do not represent the entire Conservative party

Wait... I'm sure there's a good argument for immigration in there somewhere, but all the horrifying Gungan is in the way. Where's a droid when you need one?
