Reply to comment by LordG20 in How Christian Nationalists Usurped Maine's GOP by iknowyourded

None of the things you’re describing are remotely “left wing” though. You’re describing symptoms of unfettered capitalism, which is the very thing left wing movements have been fighting against all over the world for a long time now.

I don't know any elected Dems against globalism, most are profiting from it. In my experience the only time Dems are against war is when there is a draft or Republican in the white house. Even then all they do is make a bunch of noise, they don't do anything that would end it. I can't think of three things elected Dems have done to make working Americans better off financially.

I wasn’t talking about Democrats, since they’re not leftists.

Seriously! When was the last time we got a national park? Did anything to protect labor? Cared about a baby? Not in a while. The left is sadly not even in the picture.

Someone’s gets it: “both sides” certainly aren’t the same, but they’re both basically center<->right on the classical political spectrum
