I'll Take any of the Three Popular Canadian Parties Over Either of the two American Parties

There is no need to look at Europe, actually. You can just look at Canada to see how far into right wing loony land the US has gone. All three Canadian political parties are left of both US parties. That is, all three Canadian parties are more pro-worker and pro-common man than both of the US parties.

Just to name a few examples of differences, all three Canadian parties support national health care, public ownership of many utilities, and true public education. All of these things are lost or in the final stages of being lost in the US.

The US starting about 1980 went off the deep end, pure and simple, and now people who can't get a job or who don't have a house are paying the price. And they will continue to pay the price in most cases for the rest of their lives. Through such things as credit ratings, elites are able to transfer responsibility for their failures onto ordinary people.

Both US parties are dragging the country down the drain now. We can only hope, especially if progressives and perhaps libertarian conservatives continue to stubbornly resist unifying into a new party, that if the system completely collapses, that BOTH the Republican and the Democratic parties go into the dustbin of history. At that point, there would be a clean slate for a fresh start.
