      Tired of this whole “America is conservative to the rest of the world” thing. No, it is conservative compared to Europe, specifically. I don’t mind making the comparison. But the arrogance of equating Europe with “the world” frustrates me.

      California is extremely progressive compared to Russia, Saudi Arabia, India…just not, specifically, compared to western Europe.

      Stop with the Eurocentrism.
