In America, you only have two choices. If you vote for something other that democrats or liberals, your vote is literally wasted. Both choices are considered “right” or “centrum right” in most European countries, there is no “left” choice. The system is utterly ridiculous and there’s no escaping it. The most usefull thing you can do with your vote is to choose the least evil party (or join the system and change it from the inside).
