US, EU, even China and India. Regardless where you are, the economy sucks, housing is not affordable, prices are high, jobs are stagnant and class mobility is nonexistent (except maybe in China).

    often takes credit for socialist achievements that they had no hand in creating

    I never took credit, I took the lessons.

    using that to belittle American leftists

    I did not belittle them, I pointed out their mistakes.

    They had paragraphs of justification on why voting for Biden is the best choice

    Shows that you didn’t even bother to understand my arguments. I said that if the American left is not willing to fight it to the end, it would be better to have a Biden/Harris Democrat for another 4 years while accumulating strength in between.

    Turns out I was right: Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns

    The American left has no answer to that.

    while also believing that Biden was some Machiavellian mastermind, as opposed to a senile old man herded by staffers.

    I have pointed out many times that Biden’s team made a huge gamble on raising the interest rates, which exposed the weakness of the American financial capitalist system. However, they correct bet that China - the only superpower that has the economy to challenge the dollar hegemony - would be unwilling to take on that task and challenge the global neoliberal free trade order.

    This stance remains to be correct, until China shows a willingness to abandon its IMF export-led growth strategy and turn domestic consumption. Again, shows that you didn’t even bother to understand the nuances of my arguments.

    With respect, I find many Americans like to see things in very black and white with little room for nuances. Maybe it’s the comic books, I don’t know.

      And I explained to you, repeatedly, that the American Left does not gain strength under Biden or Harris, they are pacified. Again, you are pretending insight as if you are here, on the ground, as if the lessons you have learned didn’t come from second hand knowledge of other people’s accomplishments.
