As an American, I was surprised to hear the U.S. grouped with those others as well. It's not currently the case, but perhaps a dire prognosis of what awaits us.
The death penalty is legal in many states in the US (most blue states have done away with it), and I believe still exists at the Federal level in the United States as well.
It's interesting the guest says that the United States is not liberal. I think a key difference between the United States and Western Europe (and even Canada also) is that the United States is not a social democracy. This is rarely if ever discussed in American mainstream media... Actually I can remember reading a column in the Guardian when Bernie first began rising in the US (I thought the author was sort of explaining/interpreting US politics for a European audience), and the columnist referred to Bernie as a right-wing social democrat, haha. Of course the right in America has Bernie as an unreconstructed communist basically!
This is an incredible new show that has popped up on my radar. All the luck in 2025, you won't be short on material. Shine on.
It’s nice to see the people who have got so much wrong finally be phased out of relevancy
