the Democratic party of the USA is center-leftish at best.
For example they don't openly support
- unions
- universal free healthcare
- strong workers' guaranteed rights (paid holidays, paid sick leave, paternity/maternity, limited working hours - e.g. max 40 hours per week -, overtime pay etc. etc.)
- yuliyp 6y ago> they don't openly support What's the definition of openly support you're using? Going off the party platform, it seems like they do: > unions > strong workers' guaranteed rights https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/building-a-stronger-fairer-economy/ https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/building... see the section "Protecting Workers and Families and Creating Millions of Jobs Across America" > universal free healthcare Except for the word "free", https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/achieving-universal-affordable-quality-health-care/ https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/achievin... makes their position on universal health care clear. Exactly how the cost gets shared by society is something that's a bit more nuanced (there's no way for it to be completely free; the question is how much is funded by taxes vs other fees).
- africanboy 6y agothat's interesting. thanks for posting it. My knowledge of their program was evidently not updated with their latest propositions. I hope they'll make it this time.
