I’m tired of Americans calling left of far right to be left. Left of far right is still right you know.

    We know. Everyone knows. It's just how we refer to the Democratic Party here. At this point, I think the only people who don't know the difference are the ones wouldn't care to make the distinction in the first place. Getting upset over it makes about as much sense as getting upset at British people for calling a sweater a jumper.

    Use “liberal” and see how that goes.

    You'd be talking about the right wing party in my case (Australia - the Liberals are the conservative choice)

    Yeah. And in America it’s the opposite. But our favorite Lemmyleft will see them, and talk about them, as the same. To exciting effect. (And they have reasons, you see)

    And so we have this conversation again. And round and round it goes.
