    Obama can probably best be described as a third-way social democrat. I.e. in favor of introducing social programs driven through market reforms like the ACA. Macron is the one whose placed in a wrong spot on this as he's to the left of Merkel. Obama's support for Keynesian stimulus as opposed to austerity is also reflexive of this when compared to european policy back then.

    This said this chart is incredibly dumb lol.

      i thought macron would be more conservative that merkel because of his austerity cuts and heavy use of the state to crush dissent
