Funny enough, reading the Federalist papers I think it was, the idea was that having intelligent none political people with quite a bit of latitude in how they voted as the electoral college would avoid having a populist President like Trump. The President was supposed to be a Statesman. Your Forefathers made mistakes, one being not seeing the rise of political parties as shortly happened, guess they hoped for government by consensus. And your democracy has evolved in weird ways.
Wish I had bookmarked that paper.

Does America even have a far left, or are you talking about what most would call the centre? It's long been known that often women get weird after giving birth. Usually called postpartum depression or even postpartum psychosis. Men, who never can experience child birth and all that goes with it are really not in a position to judge.

Well, now imagine you've got some weird irrational miswiring in your brain that puts gay sex on the same level as beating puppies to death. Those are the people you just have to wait for them to age out of society before their homophobia finally goes away.

Been 53 odd years since my Prime Minister declared that the government had no business being involved in what goes on in peoples bedrooms as long as there is consent and in that time gays etc were never cared about in my Provinces politics by either the right or the left until now. Polling shows acceptance of these things dropping as well. 50 years of acceptance going away rather then growing with the older people aging out.
I fully expect attacks on the left handed next, gotta be a choice to be left handed you know as normals are right handed

Here's the wiki, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... which has a map. Basically from northern S. America north is 120 or so (Mexico is 120 and 127 for example) with lots of minor variation, 110-127 and 220-240 depending on location with a few weird ones.
I didn't realize there was such variation

So personal responsibility means being dependent on government keeping the roads working, dependent on oil companies selling you gas, dependent on auto manufacturers building and selling repairable cars and likely a bunch of other dependencies I haven't thought of in a couple of seconds like law enforcement to keep people obeying rules.

Yes, we've had self driving commuter trains since '86 with close to zero problems. no controls that I'm aware of and no backup diesel besides buses.
Of course it is a lot easier to have an automatic train, especially one with no at grade crossings then a vehicle in unpredictable traffic.

There's Libertarian Socialist too, though I doubt there's many in America, more of a European thing. From https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

Libertarian socialism is an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist political current that emphasises self-governance and workers' self-management. It is contrasted from other forms of socialism by its rejection of state ownership and from other forms of libertarianism by its rejection of private property. Broadly defined, it includes schools of both anarchism and Marxism, as well as other tendencies that oppose the state and capitalism.
