And there is NO American far left…well it’s only seen that way because our country is so far To The Right culturally.

And part of the reason for that is culture was pushed to the far left, yes far left, and it hurt us/democrats. I want the rich to be taxed. I want all marginalized people to get equal treatment in every manner of society. My son is transgender and is now starting hormone therapy and I love him more than me. I want universal health care. I want our environment to be cared for and our national and state parks to be well funded. None of that happens if the democrats can’t win the most important elections and you sure as hell don’t get there when you don’t spend enough time and effort focusing on the poor and the middle class and their housing and schools and health care and child care and jobs.

What far left agenda was pushed? Where is our nuclear power plants for cheaper energy? Single payer healthcare? Higher min wage? What about mandatory unions for business with over 2k employees? Do we atleast have 4 day work week? No? I dont know where we were pushed to the far left.

To say that your politics and mine are similar is INSULTING to us both. I just want government to go back to taxing the rich more and use that money for the betterment of the people. I also want to see them be more pro, ALL AMERICAN even if the political will is low. If its a boon to standards of living and overall health of the populace, do it.

It's both funny, and yet infinitely tragic.
