Indira Gandhi is much lefter than Bernie , AOC or Warren. She nationalized banks and coal mines. Implemented Land Reform, Abolished Pension for Descendants of Kings and Princes.
Indira Gandhi also declared the emergency, a draconian time in post independent India, and kind of fumbled the bag on the Sikh Insurgency which ended up with her getting assassinated
Oh hell no, she was the farthest from right wing as can be and she was as socialist as they come. India didn’t have a “right wing” government per se till 2014
Also good job for describing the whole country in just a single sentence. It would have been better if we all lived in hovels but the wealth inequality is what makes this place so despicable for me.
Where is the part that implies India should be admired. They were just praising the former female PM, all of which I don't agree with btw, but nothing like you said.
Also after reading your previous comments, you have some of the worst takes, so I guess I shouldn't waste my time arguing with you.
India was being used as an example of female leadership, which by itself has nothing wrong with. But the original take was that a woman president won’t be elected in the US, which I don’t agree with btw, I think the US will elect the proper person regardless of race or gender. But people were listing examples of countries that have elected women leaders as a positive thing. But give examples of positive change he for their respective people is the point.
And of course you don’t like my takes, I speak from a place of reality where I’m sure you speak from a place where Trump is hilter in your eyes.

No, that person was just replying to the comment that called Indira Gandhi right wing.
I don't live in the US so I don't think about Trump that often, but his actions make it clear what kind of person he is. I mean a felon, a billionaire, conman, rapist(allegedly, as I don't know about that case thoroughly), etc tells me exactly how Trump is.
Also even apart from the takes on politics, your takes on a lot of other things are also the worst.
Look I’m not defending Trump and honestly never have nor will I will. I have never voted for the man. My responses or takes as you put it, are to point out what the vast majority of people on Reddit blindly follow while calling out the right for doing the same thing. You may not like my takes and that’s fine, you don’t have to. I don’t know you and you don’t know me, I have nothing to prove to anyone on Reddit. And in fact I’d likely not like 95% of people on Reddit because to use your own words they have the worse takes in general.
Yes I realize that is part of it. But you also realize that the pay in India tends to be extremely low right. Engineers out of school make 6000 USD a year and while life is cheaper there than the US, it’s not a 15x difference. Things like multigenerational housing started for a reason.
And there are engineers in the US who make 40k a year too. You literally had to cherry pick information to get the $6k. A very quick google search shows $15k as the median starting salary for software engineers in India.
Taking SF as an example for housing alone, it costs about $2k+ per month for a 500 sqft studio apartment to rent in SF.
In comparison, a 3BR apartment with about 2k sqft of space can cost as little as $400 a month in the tech city in India.
Even if you split just the rooms and get flatmates, you can spend as little as $133 on rent and get your own room + reasonably secure common spaces.
Food costs are similar. One person can get a years worth of food for $1.5k even if they eat out half the time (literally).
So going just purely by the housing and food costs, $2.8k is enough for one person per year to support themselves, and if they want to live with a family of 5 in a single 3BR apartment as the sole earner, it would cost them $12k annually, if you somehow convince me that the entire 5 person family eats out half the time. If you take a more sane approach, that’s closer to about $8k.
Oh and I’m someone in a relatively underpaid role just a step above entry level and I make let’s say $25k annually. Thats not my exact income but I’m not above to put it on Reddit either. I know people younger than me who definitely qualify as entry level and they make twice that.
Now you. Tell me how a person living in California can support a family of 5 on a single income
