I hear a lot that people say the US Democratic Party would be right wing in Europe. But I see a lot of Europeans online say that their (left) parties are corrupt and right wing. What am I missing?

    The 2-party-system in the USA compares to most European parties as follows:

    • GOP: far-right and radical-right parties like AfD
    • Democrats: all the rest, but mostly center-right and center-left parties

    Caveat: more and more of our center-right parties vie for the far-right sector
