Fine, what do you consider to be the ends of the political spectrum?
In this context obviously hard left Democrats and hard right Republicans. Neither of which are Facists or Communists.
Edit: If you were talking about Swedish politics your statement would make more sense, the communists and facists are pretty big over here, both these views are somewhat represented in our politics. The "left party" which has about 7 percent of the votes has been led by numerous self described communists and the Swedish Democrats used to be a neonazi party where they would meet in nazi uniforms. They have about 9 percent now but have cleaned up their politics a bit. In the US you have two parties that completely dominate your politics and neither of them are even remotely close to communism or facism.
So the spectrum encompasses communists and fascists. But only in Sweden. Ok, I disagree.
Edit: I don't really need to type this, as I have the last post, but hey, apparently you can put the bulk of your irrelevant argument here. This is fun.
You're such a fruitcake, you have a two party system where neither party is communist nor facist, we have a different system where there are parties that could be called facist and communist.
Were you under the impression that I was American? You're lot's of fun Gilli, but you've been a bit silly here.
American or British I can't tell the difference, you write in the same manner and seem to have similar values, your culture is virtually identical and the only way to tell you apart is through your accents. You'd like to think there's so much difference but to an outsider there really isn't.
Having said that, we were speaking about
american politics weren't we? I'm pretty sure PS wasn't talking about British politics when he talked about Rand Paul's appeal in the political spectrum.
