Politics : America IS left-wing

America IS left-wing

Democracy is the ultimate left-wing idea.

-Gays can marry while in other countries, they are stoned to death
-Marihuana is legal almost everywhere
-We've had a lot of criticism of police
-Both parties now pretend to be anti-war
-Medicaid/Medicare
-College grants
-K-12 is covered
-Housing for the poor
-Food Stamps
-Credit cards you can max out
-Even some Republicans say we need to forgive college debt

-Gays can marry while in other countries, they are stoned to death
You mean a very few countries, none of them Western. Europe was way ahead of the US as far as LGBTQ rights are concerned. Anyway, not a left/right issue but rather conservative/liberal.

-Marihuana is legal almost everywhere
Only if you include medical use. For recreational use, however, it is still illegal almost everywhere. But again, not a left/right issue.

-We've had a lot of criticism of police
So?

-Both parties now pretend to be anti-war
Since when were either left or right pro war as a matter of general policy?

-Medicaid/Medicare
Non-existent next to what we have in Europe.

-College grants
How is that a left thing? If anything, that belongs squarely on the right side of the spectrum. The left wants affordable education for all, not just the precious few who can afford it, and a handful more with grants.

-K-12 is covered
As anywhere else in the Western world. Did the right ever oppose this?

-Housing for the poor
More limited than most other places in the West.

-Food Stamps
Necessitated by right-wing policies. Countries which are actually on the left have better welfare options, so food stamps hasn't really been a thing since… well, the war.

-Credit cards you can max out
Sounds more like right rather than left to me.

-Even some Republicans say we need to forgive college debt
Which means they are in a minority.

Sorry, America is right wing. You have two main political parties, both of which are right wing: one right wing and one even more right wing.

Neocons are pro-war. They pushed for the Iraq War and they have continued to push for a war with Iran for over a decade. Liberals are often pro-military involvement when it involves providing humanitarian aid to areas of conflict.

ABORTION

Abortion is legal, too. How amazing.
