This. I hear people complain about the “far left” when the Democratic Party is at best center-right. The entire left side of the political spectrum isn’t even an option in this country.
As an European citizen I always laugh when US citizens call their democrat's “leftist”. You poor thing don’t even know what that means.
Most Americans don’t even know what capitalism is. They think it’s synonymous with commerce because that’s what we’re taught.
Thats why I get downvoted for saying if I got in office as president, Day 1, universal health care, universal basic income, everyone gets manditory free vaccines, and everybody gets slapped in the face.
People just think it's a bad idea for some reason.
Maybe because you lost your mind. Funny thing is this would put you center-left. Super authoritarian, but left of center. Try moving essential goods and services to the public sector and then we’re talking.
