In my experience, they fail to market their ideas to the average European too.

From feminism, to antifa, to anything touching economics, the American left tends to get itself deep enough into identity politics and neoliberalism to disgust about anyone here (I'm Spanish).

There definitely is something regarding American politics that sets it apart from the European understanding of how politics works, I personally think that the system encouraging a two party system establishes too strong of a "us vs them" mentality and that it damages political discourse altogether.

This is a great observation. Our two party politics absolutely and intentionally generate binary thinking. Definitely harms the discourse because the party politicians feel like they have to embrace the extremes to create that black and white choice for the voters.
