Okay but comparing it to the whole EU is nonsense especially when you compare its "diversity" to only spain and find it wanting comparing the examples you gave to Catalonia vs Basque county vs Galicia and you can find similar major differences in many individual EU countries. The US is not a monolith no but compared to a multiple country alliance is insane.
I may have deleted the post, but I have posted nothing that said the EU lacked diversity nor did I start discussing the various regions of Spain.
You continue to assert I, or others, are saying things we are not. I have not alleged that the EU is lacking or "wanting."
I'm saying the US is far more diverse than is often credited. People are moving from one state to another because of that very reason. It is a confederation of states, by law. And our SCOTUS is making that more true each year.
I am not saying "parity" but I am saying it's far closer than your broad brush comments.
Okay but the confederation of states has one of the strongest centralization in the world so pretending the US is some bastion of local autonomy is nonsense.
