I have an argument with a friend where I support free college, Medicare4All, Green New Deal etc. & she tells me we need an "incremental approach;" that such things are "too far left." I tell her they're centrist in Europe.She says "We're not Europe." I bang my head against a wall

In Europe. They outlawed lead paint in 1910's. They fought back and eliminated GMOs in early 2000s. No. We aren't Europe. Ask her why we allowed lead in paint for 60 yrs after they did (hint: it's called bought media w eugenics agenda. more on that tomorrow).

I will always say that anything you want to pass in the US has to be far left or far right (although what I think you said is centrist for most of the world). But to compromise from the beginning gets what we have now, which is corporate socialism.

The europeans outlawed lead paint in 1909. We caught up in 1978. Why is that? lead-paint.bryancanary.com/

I lived in Europe for 10 years and she's right. But after this pandemic, Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy, unemployment that will make 2008 look like the good days Americans may finally get it.

Those who are not willing to understand we are talking about the reallocation taxes have no place in adult conversations about politics, ever.
