    There, I fixed it for you. You're welcome!
    - The rise of ISIS? I didn't realise Dubya, Merkel and Cameron were Liberals.
    - The KKK? Nice historical revisionism there. Last I checked, it were the religious right-wing Conservatives in the south creating the Klan.
    - Drug dealers? Lol! If people on the left had their way, you wouldn't even need them. Besides, dealing drugs is inherently Capitalist and pro-free market, no? Supply and demand?
    - The main reason we're still dealing with AIDS is that religious nutjobs are pushing their cray cray agenda. Circumcisions don't prevent STDs. Condoms, free medication and regular screenings do. Deal with it!
    - Government corruption: Widespread on both, left and right.
    - Crippling debt: Saint Reagan says "Hello"!
    - Genocide: Because Hitler was such a nice guy...
    - Violent crime: Increased by the fact that Conservatives don't want to strip away the "rights" of "good guys" to own guns.
    - Racism and hate: A rather Conservative trait. Often coupled with religious zeal.
    - Inequality: Literally the freaking reason the left exists in the first place, to solve inequality.

    - Prosperity: Made your first billion yet?
    - Opportunity: Hahaha!
    - Industry: Where? In China?
    - Equality: Yea. Because nothing says "equality" like a single mom making 22k/year working fultime for a guy who makes that much per week...
    - Medicine and Science: Is what the Right has always sought to destroy. Heck. A great number of you nutjobs believe earth is 6,000 years old, Man once rode on dinosaurs and that vaccines cause autism.
    - Freed the slaves: Is what Abraham Lincoln did. A "Big government" Liberal by today's standards.
    - Defeated Hitler & the Nazi's: Is what an FDR led US army did. Remember FDR? The guy his peers called a "bloody Socialist"?
    - Defeated Communism: Communism defeated itself. Saint Reagan had little to nothing to do with it, past starting the first Iraq war.
    - Defeated Osama Bin Laden: Is what a (quote) "Muslim Communist taking our guns!" instantiated (they merely killed the guy. His ideas are alive and well, sadly).
    - Defeated Saddam Hussein: Can't argue with that. At least you're owning up to your "sides" failures there...
    - Personal responsibility: But only if you're a rich guy seeking to ship off jobs and dodge taxes. Or a maniac with a gun. Certainly not if you're a woman seeking an abortion.
    - Safety, Law enforcement: Paid by taxes, provided by "Big government".

    I thought in most regions the left disowned the military, and thus military R&D divisions such as DARPA

    Regarding politics: you gotta love the completely skewed political definitions that US people spread... The nazis were leftists? The "democratic" party in the US is leftist? LOL
    I wonder where do they learn this, random posts in reddit/4chan/stormfront? Are people so stupid as to believe everything they read in the internet?
    LOL a european believing that his view of left and right apply to every other region and country like they don't have their own definitions of the term LOLOLOLOL

    Am I doing it right?

    Seriously though, how many times must it be stated in this thread that there's no global definition of left vs right and that said terms only make sense within the microcosm of the governmental region you're looking at.

    Did the PC and Internet really came from the Left wing? I thought those came from the Industrial Revolution (Capitalism), so right-wing?

    Or are you talking about PC as in Political Correctness?

    You can say that, but they are repressed. In effect what we have is a a two party system.

The only real possibility of getting represented is to choose one party or the other.
    Yes. I do realise that. However, people make it sound overly dramatic.
    It's not like the Soviet Union, The People's Republic of China or North Korea.

    A lack of representation doesn't equal a forceful putdown.

    I hope you guys realise that there are more than two parties in the US.

    It just so happens that the other parties are smaller fringe parties. I don't think anyone or anything is keeping them from ruling both houses or even having one of their own elected President. Apart from a broad support base, that is.
