He’s definitely not radical left, but he’s the most pro-union president since at least Carter. Yes - I’m aware of the rail strike fuckery… are you aware of the stuff he’s passed?
Id say the problem is that the bar is quite low.
Certainly, but a country so far off the rails as the US is when it comes to social justice and worker protection, won’t be fixed over night. Fixing this will take decades and it will be a bloody uphill battle all the way.
When people find out that leftism actually means the destruction of capitalism…
It… Doesn’t?
Here’s a bunch of stuff:
- Heavily subsidised / free education
- Healthcare subsidised / costs capped at yearly max of a couple of $100
- Decent paid parental leave, minimum 20 weeks
- hmm… I realised that I don’t care. Usually I’d delete my comment. Meh
That’s not necessarily leftist
It’s to the left of center but not really leftist
Well to be fair, to fight over who the real leftist is and what the end goal should be, is as left as it can get.
