I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me.
Would have been cool to give up this assumption that everything is related to US by default when moving away from Reddit. I mean, even the canadian political news of Lemmy.ca is CanadaPolitics.
Technically it is in the US too, in the sense that of liberal economies and neoliberalism and all of that, but Americans forgot how to use their own damned language and it’s all just ‘anything goes’ over there.
The US left doesn’t get represented in elections but it does exist - erasing them in conversation only serves the bipartisan charade on Capitol Hill.
What kind of economic policies do they support? Do they support an oligarch regime that allows gay marriage among their wage (or at this rate, literal) slaves? Because that would be economic liberal paired with social liberal, which is what the Democrats are (more of the former in power and the latter on the campaign trail) and if that’s the case then I’m fine calling it right wing.
By liberal do you mean democrat, or liberal economics? Your comment could mean that it is all ‘left’ wing or that it is all right wing, and I’m dying to know how to interpret it…
“corrected” how? non americans need to post non american things if they want non american content. there are more americans there who generate content, be the change you want to see and post about your own countries or other countries then. you cant expect americans to post about other countries to satisfy you when that’s not their focus
That should be up to only the mods or the admins. And I’m definitely not a big fan of forcing admins to change community names because you disagree with a name that is arguable not incorrect.
USA liberal politics, if we are being honest
There is no actual political discussion going on here, just an American liberal propaganda machine
Go back to your safe space, snowflake
Where would that be?? Lol
Here you go: @conservative
Ideally nowhere ever.
Actually liberal in the US is right wing in Europe

And in the rest of the world.
Yeah the people that think gay folks can get married sure are right wing in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia.

Change the community name or change the community rules

It’s a relic from Reddit. There r/Politics was US-Only too. It was always weird
