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.

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

          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.
