    No, it's not Xenophobic... but the attitude of overly criticizing soc-dems does seem to come from European leftists who actually have decent representation whereas in the US we have basically none.

    And it kind of makes sense, she might be half dog shit for somewhere like Spain, Greece, France, Germany etc.. for us she's definitely in the "good, but hold her accountable (not cancel) her" category.

      well at least you realize we have no actual decent representation, stop trying to manufacture the idea that we do... and blaming a giant group of people who aren't american for something that you disagree with is not xenophobic?

        I mean saying there's 1 decent person in the House out of like 400 something isn't really saying there is "decent representation"

          maybe not, but it's still wrong in the first place.

        Recognizing material and political differences between regions of the world ain't xenophobic.

        Leftists in NA are different than leftists from SA or the EU. Sure there are similarities, but those regions have much different political realities.

          you're right, they're better at actually getting shit done than we are, because we only have fake fucking leftists representing us, which you seem to promote for some reason.
