Our six party system explained with American politicians (in case anybody has been wondering about this):
If you don't have the time just skip to the end to see an overview of how they are spread out.
I am sorry but this video just isn't working for me as a "fact". This maybe works when you just consider social issues. However when you go into welfare state, socialized healthcare, housing, free college, public safety etc. this video falls apart pretty quickly (at least in my opinion).
In my book it is more like this in best case scenario:
MAGA-AfD
People around the center - CDU
Democratic establishment - FDP
Progressives - Greens
In my book in US there is nothing to the left of Green positions. In other words socialized healthcare, free college etc. are the core of what the SPD is. What means that SPD and options further left don't really exist in US. Therefore putting the entire Democratic establishment in there is just factual ignorance in my opnion. The progressives kinda have glimpses of those postions since they are the closest option, but the texbook SPD program is still to the left of them.
To make things even worse CDU when it comes to governing power respects the institution of socialized medicine and most other wefare programs.
I mean don't even get me started on what Merkel did in Covid era. Not to mention that they aren't strangers to governing in coailtion with SPD. Therefore putting the entire Republican establishment in there is perhaps even bigger ignorance than what was done with the Democratic party in that video.
I am sorry, but I am not buying this.
For me this is simply factually wrong and misleading.
Just saying.
