According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics, in liberal democracies, the political Right opposes socialism and social democracy.
Right-wing parties include conservatives, Christian democrats, classical liberals, nationalists and, on the far Right, racists and fascists.
The general consensus among political scientists is that “left wing” includes liberals, progressives, socialists and communists, and the “right wing” includes conservatives, traditionalists, reactionaries and fascists.

Joss Whedon’s All-Star Hillary Clinton-Supporting Ad Save the Day super PAC recruits ‘Avengers’ stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle plus dozens more
Avengers director Joss Whedon has assembled an all-star team of Hillary Clinton supporters – including his superhero-portraying brethren like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle – for a series of comedy videos encouraging similarly liberal-leaning groups to vote for Clinton on Election Day.
“It’s not about attacking because Donny [Trump’s] real good at attacking himself,” Whedon told THR of the video.
“It’s about getting people to vote, because it’s frightening the apathy that people are treating the most crucial election of their lifetimes with.”
If the voters end up choosing Clinton on Election Day, the Save the Day celebrities all promise that Ruffalo will do a nude scene in his next movie, a cherry on top of Clinton-elected benefits like choosing new Supreme Court justices and crafting gun control laws.

The much anticipated Joss Whedon “Save The Day – Vote” political TV commercial campaign, breaking new ground in the use of A-List and B-List celebrities in politics.
From Robert Downey Jr. to Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Clark Gregg and Mark Ruffalo to Martin Sheen, Stanley Tucci, James Franco, Neil Patrick Harris, Julianne Moore, Nathan Fillion, Rosie Perez, Tarran Killam, and Bradley Whitford.
From Joss Whedon super-PAC that supports Hillary Clinton, without mentioning a particular name, the ad slams Donald Trump supporters as racist, and urges voters to cast their votes for Hillary Clinton.
The ad was innovative in its use of celebrity endorsements, while giving Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson prime spots, it alternates and repeats lines between the celebs featured, and pokes fun at itself filling in with actors portraying regular, but sincere, people. Some critics argue that the use of celebrities in political ads is ineffective, but others argue their renown can bring in new voters.
Among the many topics she was going to cover, she mentioned that she had a live interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D), Massachusetts.
I have to tell you, this was one of the best speeches I’ve heard in a long time; especially during these crazy days of the 2016 election campaign and all.
Her main point was addressing the members of Congress, who have been stubbornly denying a duly elected president from doing his job, to do their job.
This is the job they were elected to do by their own constituents.
There’s a vacancy on the most important court in America, and the message from Senate Republicans is crystal clear: forget the Constitution. For Senate Republicans, it does not matter who President Obama nominates because they will allow no votes and will hold no hearings on that nominee. Their response to one of the most solemn and consequential tasks that our government performs is to pretend that the nominee — and President Obama himself — do not exist.
At the same time that they are blocking all possible Supreme Court nominees, Senate Republicans are in a panic because their party appears to be on a path to nominate one of two extremists for president — extremists who attack the legitimacy of their political opponents and demean millions of Americans. Senate Republicans worry that, if either candidate is selected to be the party’s standard-bearer, the Republican party will lose in November.
Republicans’ stance on Supreme Court nominees and their response to the extremists at the top of their party’s ticket are the same issue. And the solution is simple. If Republican Senators want to stand up to extremists running for president, they can start by standing up to extremists in the Senate.
They can start by doing their jobs.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution says that the president nominates justices to the Supreme Court, with the advice and consent of the Senate.
There is no secret clause that says “…except when that president is a Democrat.” If Senators object to a nominee’s qualifications, they can vote no and explain themselves to the American people. Although President Obama and I are members of the same political party, I haven’t agreed with every single nomination he’s made — and I have made my objections clear. That’s how advice and consent works: learn about the nominees, and then use your best, good faith judgment to evaluate their qualifications.
Because here’s the deal: extremists might not like it, but Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 by nine million votes and won re-election in 2012 by five million votes. There were no recounts or hanging chads, no stuffing the ballot box or tampering with voting machines, no intervention from the Supreme Court. President Obama was elected the legitimate president seven years ago, and he is the legitimate president right now.
So if it’s true that some Republican Senators are finally ready to stand up to the extremism that denies the legitimacy of this president and of the Constitution, I say to them: do your job. Vote on a Supreme Court nominee. Vote on District Court judges and Circuit Court judges. Vote on ambassadors. Vote on agency leaders and counterterrorism officials.
If Senate Republicans want to stop extremism in their party, they can start by showing the American people that they respect the president and the Constitution enough to do their job in the United States Senate.
Senator Elizabeth Warren delivers a floor speech on March 9, 2016, urging Senate Republicans to give timely consideration and an up-down-vote to President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.
Ted Cruz’s Announcement Disrespects The Founding Fathers, American Tradition And Non-Christians
The Tea Party favorite chose a location to announce his quest for the presidency that has, so far as I can ascertain, never been chosen before in our nation’s history — a religious institution that, according to it’s own description, offers “a world-class Christian education” for the purpose of “training champions for Christ”.
Cruz embarked on his march to the White House before a crowd of some 10,000 students at Liberty University — a number that would have been terribly impressive for such an event were it not for the fact that attendance was compulsory — where the Senator would spent the first part of his speech extolling the virtues of Jesus Christ and the importance the Christian faith played in keeping his family together.
