All I want is for young people to have the same opportunities I had when I was young. That should not be seen as a radical leftie position. What are now seen as radical left issues are considered moderate policies in most European countries & should be seen that way here as well.

Universal healthcare, free college, no college loan debt, no medical bankruptcy, fair minimum wage…those should be seen as basics provided by government to allow people a reasonable opportunity to thrive. PERIOD.

In addition to robust social programs, like you mention, kids need secure living arrangements. It is so much more difficult for our children to purchase their first home. Wages must rise appreciably for them to accumulate enough money for a down payment.

The way to defeat the lesser of 2 evils is with the greater of 2 evils😐 I believe that progressives can abstain from voting for “moderate” Dems in general elections if we make it clear that we don’t support Republicans but since we’re getting the Republican agenda w/Dems…

You mean, "basics provided by [other people]. Yep, that is quite leftist alright.
Replying to @marwilliamson
You didn’t have any of these things growing up though. This directly contradicts your previous statement. Sounds more like it’s the people you oppose who want young people to have everything you had growing up.
