The only thing they have in common is that they are all anti-establishment at core. It seems to me that the Left, who used to be anti-establishment, has now become what it once fought.
- tcmart14 5y agoNope we are still here. Look at the anti-war movement. Full of left wing veterans like myself who are anti-establishment. Its just the democrats who changed. The people who actually were left, didnt. Of course America doesn't have a good basis of what left wing is.
- TeeMassive 5y agoGood on you for sticking to your principles. In my opinion the left and and the right doesn't mean much outside of French politics over the 18th and 19th century. A lot of what was considered left wing is now right wing and vice versa. Now it's more about tribes than principles.
- tick_tock_tick 5y agoBiden is marching us to war with Iran, the very thing people were terrified Trump would do just months ago, and people are cheering him on now. The flip in news reporting and how top Democrats react to what is nearly the same actions is insane.
- tehwebguy 5y agoI think left leaning people see like 90% of elected Democrats, CNN watchers, & people calling themselves "liberal" as the left-most edge of the right wing. "Left leaning" TV networks & Democrat leadership seem to try very hard to never even entertain leftist ideas like universal healthcare, right to housing, etc. They aren't okay with Biden because he's on the left, they're okay with him because he's close enough to center-right IMO.
