Politics are relative. There are also far more than two neat little dimensions on which to analyze political orientation. The 2 principle component vectors of progressive/conservative beliefs between, say, UK and US are not aligned if one reduces the political spheres to 2 space.
People really need to stop thinking inside of 2 little boxes, RvsD or progressive vs conservative. This reductionist thinking is really bad for society.
Mainstream for who though? The Overton window for the United states is very different from Canada's even though they're right next to each-other. For a lot of countries, the United States democratic party is fairly far to the right.
