Correct. Most people who say this are focused on healthcare and other social safety net issues. When you look at LGBTQ+ rights, or racial discrimination, or even abortion, Democrats are further to the left of lots of European parties. It can be a slog to get a European to admit they even have racial issues at all.

    Name a country in Europe where abortion, being gay are illegal or racial discrimination is so bad they have to overcorrect it with laws?

    Ah ya got me. Now name a country in the European Union (which is what I meant)or that is only part of Europe and no other continent.

    So obviously I can't speak for all European countries, but I find it hard to see in what way the Dems would not be at least center-right here

    yeah but center right isn't more right wing than European conservatives. Parties like AfD, PVV, RN, Vlaams Belang are more to the right of European conservatives. Those are straight up fascists. Dems would still be considered liberals in Europe and I mean the old classic liberalism not the weird definition Americans use who think liberalism is a left leaning ideology like progressivism. And liberals are mostly center right to right wing in Europe.
