      I have no idea about the rest of the world

      I believe it. What I’m saying is that from your insular experience you wouldn’t realize that what you consider “centrist” is actually “far-right”.

      In reality the largest news organization in America is “far-right” with some smaller extremist-right orgs. What you consider “leftist” is actually “centrist” by developed-nation standards. You can go on calling it what ever you like but it has no basis in reality outside of conservative echo chambers.

          No, I get it. You are not going to let facts get in the way of your conclusions. You don’t sound dismissive you seem uninformed. That’s fine and on brand with the positions you’ve shared.

              and we’re blessed with being the greatest country possible

              By what metric? Name one metric that US is number one in other than defense spending.

              you’re wrong to say my conclusions are not based on facts

              You cannot back up a single thing you say; all you offer are personal anecdotes. I guess your point would be that you’re not informed enough to know the difference? That doesn’t make you correct it makes you ignorant. And that’s fine, not everyone can be informed, just don’t pretend that you are.

              I’m cracking up that you’re now downvoting my comments after writing:

              I enjoy mutually respectful debate, but I find most others prefer to fearfully call me a “fascist,” downvote everything I’ve ever written, block me, and walk away feeling sanctimonious.

              Feeling sanctimonious, yet?

              Please continue dazzling me with you personal anecdotes from the butt-crack of America.

                  You didn’t list a single thing America is #1 in. Is there a single thing other than defense spending?

                  All of your “metrics” are either not true or not metrics. That is amazing.
