    Well usually when we’re talking about ‘democrats’ we’re talking about an American political party. And if we’re talking about American politics, i assume we are talking aout American politics, and assume their values. Not the French, or the Japanese. I like to learn about other peoples politics too, but thats not what we are discussing here.

      Even when talking about Americans, the definitions don’t change.
      Even if you do it among yourselves, using ‘left’ for what is only objectively ‘relatively left’ people will not even know what actual left is.
      That’s getting Orwellian.
      Hypothetically, if you’re from a extremely violent country except for the small area where you happen to live and you only see 4 people being shot in your street every day, would you think it’s accurate to call that a peaceful area?
