I mean that's where my MiL started (on the right) and after many years of work she's now firmly to the left of Bernie and AOC, but not quite at the "armed minorities are harder to oppress" stage. Maybe by the end of summer ...

That picture of Hillary Clinton truly unsettles me
The United States doesn't have a left wing. Only a right wing that's slightly less extreme right wing than the extreme right wing.
Your two party system has fucked you over for a whole century.
I know. But the two party system does prevent everyone from ever being able to vote on a better alternative unless an insurmountable number of people vote for some third party.
Which is difficult due to the many barriers put in by the two major parties to getting on the ballot. Many third parties spend a lot of their funds just trying to get on the ballot and defending against law suits put out by major party candidates. Leaves very little for campaigning or advertisement, relying almost solely on word of mouth and volunteers. And of course each state runs their own elections, so there is never a one size fits all solution. Plus, the rules are constantly changing and generally becoming more difficult.
There are a lot of us with zero political power, and then there’s liberals and Neo liberal parties. I imagine it’s pretty similar in EU or anywhere in the west really. Imperial core & all that
We have two parties 
My partner has started using terminology that I use. I think she genuinely still saw the USA as possibly a good country and now she drops words like "corrupt," and "fraud," in places that weren't previously said when talking about our society.
My hope is that I'm merely providing scaffolding to articulate a thing that is felt but not discussed. I'm pretty sure a lot of USA citizens really need that.
In the US every politician at the left of the right wings is for the US a communist, perspective thing.
Who is the top right woman on the left side? I don't recognize her
who is the bottom right woman on the left side?

The DNC doesnt believe in oligarchs... But they sure do believe in the super value of corporations and the boards that direct them. But deem that this group of wealthy detached individuals is safer than a singular wealthy individual unless the singular individual wants to donate to them.
Power to the wealthy. Thats the only way we seem to be allowed to play the game they call politics.
