we've been in that situation since the 1980's; our center-right and our far right are our only choices for president now.
i used to think europe's democracies were ahead since they carried on with progressive initiatives the americans stopped doing in the 1970's, but now i wonder if europe's lurch rightwards is them catching up to the americans.
On one side of Europe there were French, on other - Soviet.
I'm an American so when we say "Europe" we assume it's understood that I mean Western Europe. Lol
