Parent was making an observation that the entire US political discourse, including both sides, tends to be right of global center.

Why would the political leanings of other countries matter in a discussion about the US?

Because the US is part of the world.

Not a discussion about "the world."

I can't tell if you're being obtuse or obstinant.

The political systems of other countries are irrelevant when discussing the United States.
