    I feel like the left in the US is almost seen as center by people in other countries. The overton window has drifted a lot to the right along the years

      Here in Norway, Bernie and AOC would be considered center. Even our conservative party would be considered radical left by Fox News.

      In the US, the overton window is so weirdly deformed that it’s not even on a building anymore. It somehow ended up hovering mid-air a short walk away from the nearest wall.
