>Any sensible writing of the policy would come with reasonable bounds

>are you under the belief that American Liberals are Leftist and that the left is all about flags, gender identity, and student loan debt relief?
The Old Left && its economic policy prescriptions have been a dead letter in the US since the '90s. The cultural focus is more useful to peel off blocs who might be inclined to vote, as an afterthought, for a redistributive economic policy.
