Mostly good analysis, however, the "Left" doesn't really exist in mainstream US politics due to decades of McCarthyism and anticommunist brainwashing. Democrats are centrists at best, and just Blue Republicans at worst.

    Im not really an educated person in that way... Using the terms Democrats and Republicans would have been better.

    Essentially Democrats and Republican... And just American politics in general have been distilled of worth. The groups or sides are emotionally targeted and manipulated.
