Just checked and the US does NOT have an extradition treaty with Vietnam.

All of that is irrelevant to my point that your right wing government has policies that would be far left in the US

The rubric is literally right below what you quoted

The categories are as follows:

1. Biased Wording/Headlines- Does the source use loaded words to convey emotion to sway the reader. Do headlines match the story?

2. Factual/Sourcing- Does the source report factually and back up claims with well-sourced evidence.

3. Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.

4. Political Affiliation: How strongly does the source endorse a particular political ideology? Who do the owners support or donate to?

Just because it is a qualitative and not a quantitative assessment doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary.

There is a whole lot more to it than that. You can read it here.

In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.

Gross Geneva monthly minimum wage is CHF 4426 or $4,940 according to a quick Google. In the US it’s $1,330.

Edit. Even the highest US local minimum wage of $17 an hour is $2,992 a month.

They clearly list the methodology they use on their website.

As much as it sounds like you don’t like what you have, it’s still better than the US.

I think it’s considered center left based on US politics. Our Overton window has shifted pretty far. The Swiss have universal healthcare and strict gun control. That can’t be right by US standards.

That is a high quality slice of tuna.

That a group of people should be killed because of their religion is not a political opinion.

Oh look, Trump blatantly committed another felony.

American values? Can’t have that!

Like the separation of church and state?

Immigration? Come on in, we’ll worry about it later!

That’s how 99% of the country got here. It’s what made (and still makes) this country great. Incorporating people from around the world is an American value.

Trump is running again? Let’s do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to stop him from campaigning!!

What about the American value of respecting law and order by not supporting a convicted felon for president?

Crime is getting worse? Let’s ease up on punishment! Crime isn’t getting worse.

Crime is actually going down.

Biological men want to compete with women in sports? Okay!

Accepting those with different beliefs and respecting the way they choose to live their life is another American value.

Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.

The program provides funding for states to build charging stations. As of the beginning of the year, half of states hadn’t even begun to take bids from contractors. Not like Biden can control that.

100% agree with you then.

Y’all need to hear the fable of the boy who cried wolf.

I don’t disagree that silencing protest is bad. It’s just not fascism. Fascists kill dissenters.

Treating protestors like this is the norm (though it always must be fought). It’s how they were treated during Occupy Wall Street. It’s how they were treated during Vietnam and the civil rights fight. Authoritarianism can come from both the left and the right. Fascism is always from the right.

I usually go by Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism essay for a definition.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism

Suppression of protest would fall under #4 “Disagreement is Treason”. Under fascism it is not enough to silence opposition. They must be treated as enemies of the state and be eradicated.
