Center-left? In what way? They are genocidal imperialists, they aren’t anticapitalist in any form.

They want to use the power of government to reduce the harms of capitalism, via minimum wages, social safety nets, child tax credit, subsidizing more environmentally friendly energy production and electric cars.

No they are not as far left as you and the people you talk to online, I didn’t say that. You are allowed to want different policies. You’re just incorrect to call them right wing.

Republicans have also votes for bills supporting all of the above.

You have to realize that Republicans are not the party pushing for these things. What you are saying does not retort anything I said.

  1. No they don’t, lol

  2. That isn’t “center-left,” that’s center-right.

Leftism starts at anti-Capitalism.

Ok I don’t expect you to see it but this is exactly why I said it’s a lie that online lefties tell themselves. Globally, in real life politics, yes you absolutely can be center-left without demanding the overthrow of Capitalism.
