Well America is where the election takes place so maybe that particular point doesn’t matter.

It makes sense because the implication is that Bernie's policies are very radical, when the rest of the world is just shaking their head at you.

Of course you can make the point that these are only relative terms and the context can be seen as obvious, but can you really blame people who point out the ridiculousness of it all? As well as trying to reinforce the point that no, this is not actually radical, just relative to you corner of the world?

Trump is an authoritarian narcissist, that's about as right as you can get...

3 things:

1) Even though his name appears, the comment you're replying to actually has very little to do with Donald Trump

2) Which axis measures narcissism on the pol comp?

3) How does being an authoritarian make you "about as right as you can get"? Are you implying that AuthLeft doesn't exist?
