Not really. The equivalent of Dem leadership in Hungary has been the DK, which was extremely successful in the past 16 years of destroying any hope of a third option.
Tisza is the “third party” way done right. His policy positions include both nationalistic stuff like stronger representation of the Hungarian diaspora and socialistic stuff like wealth taxes.
He just beat Hungarian Hillary out of parliament completely.
I don’t know this case specifically, but usually USA Democrats are similar to Europe Right-far right, not center-right. Republicans are what we could say mad-right to most Europeans.
As bad as the Democratic leadership can be sometimes, I don’t see them as bad as Le Pen or the AfD, which I’d both consider far-right. I also don’t see the USA Democrats being cozy with Putin. Those positions would be where the USA Republicans are, and hence they are far-right.
I don’t disagree. I’d say a majority of policy positions should generally be the go-to definition. What, in your opinion, are all the policy positions of the Democratic leadership that would represent the majority of their policies to arrive at calling them far-right?
I used to know a guy in the UK Conservative Party (nice guy actually) and he told me that there was an expectation of them to maintain good relations with the US Republican Party, even though they had far more in common with the Democrats.
Would that make his policy positions about on-par with the Democratic leadership in the USA?

Maybe using a one-dimensional scale to identify policy isn’t all that adequate?

I’m not the person who made the original claim
Disingenuous nonsense.
