As a foreigner, we see right wingers and ultra right wingers in those parties. People like Sanders and El-Sayed may be centrists leaning to the left, but American politicians are all kinds of right wing.

But we also see American people as enchanted with what they were in the 1980s and 1990s. Yes, they won the Cold War, but now China is a formidable opponent in the geopolitical realm, Japan continues to shrink as South Corea does, Canada is pissed off and Europe is taking their own road, even Russia is back in the game big time. The thing is, time's up. The petrodollar is collapsing and they can't win a war against Iran. Nobody wants the USA as an enemy, but more and more countries can afford it. It's not that Americans want to change, they will have to.
