Everything that gets labeled "far-left" in the US is just common sense policy in the rest of the industrialized world. Guaranteed health care. Paid family leave. Government drug price negotiation. This stuff isn't radical. We're talking about the basics of a functioning society.

You know that story: "If my older brother does something wrong, I feel entitled to do it too." Yeah... If Biden is using the FBI as a GESTAPO to stalk journalist, he encourages 3rd world governments to do the same thing. Maduro must already be saying: "Compañero Biden...!"

Nobody has a problem with this. What people have a problem with is how we will pay for it, if it will cause more inflation, and if it will make the government more intrusive. People also are pushed away by the left with their divisive racial and identity politics.

What you say is absolutely TRUE ... We are actually living in a ... BACKWARD ... PRIMITIVE ... Country!

So, you're basing the appropriateness, and the political orientation, of any given public policy on the number of countries that adopt it?

Yeah but they can do it because they don't have a huge military budget oh....

Really respect your opinions. And this capitalist empire will never allow those sort of common good policies to flourish here. And you know why because you’re brilliant. It’s box office. And it’s bigger than Elvis

The truth is, there is no far left in the US. Barely a fucking left.

Yep as the neo libs and "conservatives" (not sure what they conserve ) push the country further right .
Replying to @marwilliamson
There will be constant sorrow and futility until we shift left. But our narrative seems so far from reality…I can’t see it happening.
