I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    I’m not sure what possible argument would work if you insist that there can be two different points that don’t have a midpoint. That’s primary school geometry.

      In the US there are right wing and even more right wing. The Overton window moves so fast more and more to the right that it has a visible Doppler effect.

          If you want to call “left” to whatever passes for progressive in the US (and receives proper mockery in the rest of the world for it) be my guest.

          Buy clown make up in the mean time, you’ll need it.

            Left of what? This is the extraordinarily simple concept you’re not understanding. Whatever left is it has to be left of something. What’s referred to as progressivism in the US is mostly to the left of the political establishment, and media. It’s center/center-left compared to the population (depending on how you define progressivism).

            If you’re just using your own personal desires as your calibration point, then good for you, nobody else should or does care though.
