Taft2016

I cannot imagine what anyone sees as 'left-wing' about Mr Obama, who is roughly equivalent, historically, to the actual Taft. You live in an unhistorical dream. Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini, as you know, all repressed working people and socialism, the political philosophy that represented their interests. Your country fought a war to end Secession, and abolished formal slavery as a tactical move in that process. It has never abolished racism, which is manifestly alive and well and stinking.
This discussion sounds like it's veering into absurd word parsing that I probably won't be interested in pursuing.
Slavery was the driving issue behind secession.
If not Obama, then what elected person in American politics would you describe as "left wing"?
