Go and try to advocate to make alcohol legal in Saudi Arabia.

It doesn't matter if the EU thinks your policies are common-sense. Radicalism is relative to the society that you're in. "The Squad" are radical figures with insane pie-in-the-sky ideas to most Democrat voters.

Yes Radicalism is relative to the culture one lives in, but the cultural differences between the US and somewhere like Canada or Britain are so minor as to be negligible.

People who think that think that something like Universal Healthcare or raising taxes on Capital Gains are pie in the sky ideas tend to be aggressively unimaginative and resistant to learning from other countries. There's a reason that this type of mentality is a refuge for the egoicly fragile anti-intellectualism found at the lower levels of Spiral Dynamics.

It's like they insist on driving a car with square wheels because that's the way they've always done things. And when thier next door neighbor points out that the rest of the neighborhood is laughing at them as thier car struggles to make it down the street, their response is to take issue with the mere suggestion that they could learn a thing or two from people who've figured things out that they haven't.
