I consider myself center-left. It is hard to encapsulate the left as a monolith because it is a diverse group of people who have different values and goals. The left could include: - People who want to reduce the price of medical care so people can have a higher quality of life - People who are environmentalists who want to regulate pollution - Vegans who want to end animal abuse - Transgender people who want their rights and status respected and protected by the law - People who do not want homeless camps in their city, but also do not want the government to open up open-air prisons for people who are at the lowest point in their lives and may never recover. - People who want women to have access to abortions. - Literal delusional communist wonks who have no idea what they are talking about. So, when you look at the "left" like that, you can see why the two-party system is so important for the United States to keep in place. This superset of "the left" needs to agree on policy and win an election. Good luck. But to answer your question: - Races in dungeons and dragons being stand-ins for actual races. This is questionable, but people made some good points and I think at the end of the day WoTC was just like: "Eh, if it makes people more comfortable who cares." NOBODY played the characters that way anyway. - Genetically modified foods / the organic movement. GMO DOES have its problems in that they dump TONS of pesticides and herbicides on copyrighted plants that are designed to survive them, which then flow into our rivers and kill off biodiversity. However: They are perfectly safe to eat and people misunderstood the concept. - Anti-vax was originally a hippie-dippie "left mommy" thing before it was adopted by the right. I'm sure there are plenty more
