> Funny what you think is left are all basic human rights in my country.
Are you suggesting the left doesnt support human rights, therefore by being human rights they are not on left oriented ideas?
Like ok, its a basic human right, so the left has some principles such as supporting basic human rights... how are you even disagrring?
> I’ll give you some real left actions:
So again your saying the left doesnt support human rights? and as such when i pointed that out was wrong?
> Increase taxes on the rich to post war levels.
Heading in this direction are both things Biden and Obama did, increasing tax on the rich.
> Close all corporate tax loopholes.
Against something both Obama and Biden worked towards by proposing on quite a few occasions to close corperate loopholes in the tax code.
> Nationalize essential utilities
That would indeed be an extremely left move. As far as I know no democrats have pushed for this. But when all of their policies are clearly on the left, not having pushed for some arbitrary policy on the left you want to see doesnt stop them from being left, it just makes them a less-extreme version of the left, that is all.
> Nationalize resources to fund society
This has been pushed for by both Obama and Biden. For example the nationalized fund that paid off school loans would be an example
> Salary caps on top level executives
I dont know if they actively pushed for this as a law or not. But they have stated several times they agree with this stance.
> Guaranteed living wages
Both Obama and Biden have consistently pushed for increases to try to get us to a living wage.
> Universal right to unionize
Both Obama and Biden have pushed to support the rights of unions to be forced on workers against their will and removing the right for workers to choose for themselves to join a union.. so yea they have done this too, its a big issue.
So almost everything you listed applies to Obama, Biden, and most democrats... glad we could agree democrats are on the left.
