contemporary democrats are not any better, they make hella frequent concessions to anti-competitive business practices under the guise of licensing or stimulus

This is why US democrats are considered center-right compared to the rest of the world.

What makes the rest of the world any better than US by using them as a metric.

US politics is a few hundred years old whereas European and other's are thousands of years old? The rest of the world's political perspective has a bit more precedent than ours.
