  The US "left wing" party does not (collectively) support: * nationalized health insurance * higher upper marginal rate income taxes * expanded public transportation * higher corporate taxes * unions/employee members of corporate boards * longer parental leave * more vacation time These and many other policies are common across other democratic nations' left-ish parties, and are actual policy in many of those nations.

    I take it you haven't read the Party Platform, have you? Not sure that it really matters. As the #1 and #2 priorities of the Democratic Party right are allowing for the unrestricted killing of the unborn and supporting the alphabet-soup of sexual/gender spectrum.

      But your #1 and #2 don't appear in most countries non-extremist left parties. Sure many other western democracies allow abortion in some form, but never unrestricted. E.g. in Germany you can abort in the first three month of the pregnancy if you have been to counseling. That makes it impossible to make a decision in a moment that you would regret later. Later abortions are legal only in life threatening situations. And the support of logically inconsistent and outright vile policies to favor the later letters of the alphabet soup are an American export.

      > unrestricted killing of the unborn Not an accurate description of any democrat AFAIK. > supporting the alphabet-soup of sexual/gender spectrum Probably not priority #1 or #2, and if they were, not even an actually bad thing...
