    They don't even have any stay at home orders in place to protect the public?

    Why do the dems keep supporting white wing racist?

    Look at it like this. Social Democracy is Left, Capitalism/Fascism is Right. Most Democrats fall in the middle. Even Bernie is very moderate as far as Social Democracy goes. At most, I'd call him left-leaning.
    In a global context, sure. In the American context, Bernie is far left while the Democratic party is not quite far left, but getting there.

    So a staunch Democrat in Massachusetts is definitely left wing, and that is the majority of the voting public there.

    Most Americans agree with so-called far-left policies. If Medicare for All is a popular mainstream stance, how can it be far-left?

    I'd like to see the stats on that. Public polling can be largely steered by the phrasing of a question. Also, multiple proposals have been made for that policy. Some are more left wing than others.

    If it's just a matter of extending Medicare to the entire population, that's not necessarily left wing, although it's not very functional either. Medicare is a pretty broken system. It's only "popular" to the extent that people who depend on it don't want it to go away.

    If people had other options, they'd be more inclined to pick something else.

    Maybe, but the point is that plenty of people will take Medicare for All over what we have now. So while it might not be the first choice for everyone, it's certainly not a far-left idea anymore. Like with women voting and Catholic immigration, it's become mainstream and, if we ever get it, it will be just a normal part of American life.

    Who cares? Neither party represents the people anymore. These conventions are part of the dog and pony shows which exist to promote some kind of illusion.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    I'd say the most racist place in the world is Latin America. That's not stereotyping either, just accepting the truth.

    Other than California, all those states are politically centrist.
    The whole East Coast is more racist.

    The difference is the North-East is largely for national healthcare, but racist.

    As opposed to the South-East who are anti-National healthcare, but racist, or the West Coast which are for national healthcare & against racism too.

    National healthcare is part of the normal World, America is abnormal here.

    Yeah, so not only is this not "far-left" within America, but it's not far-left on a global scale either. But this is what happens when a country becomes too multiracial. Creating positive social change becomes next to impossible.

    Americans have experienced the healthcare the rich want us to have, A corporate for-profit healthcare system results in providing the least amount of beds as possible to max profits. It uses the same logic to keep a min of equipment such as respirators and hospital equipment. It also rations healthcare for the poor. They are not profitable. The people are getting more and more fed up with our miserable system.

    It was announced on March 11, 2019. Wild guess, but I think that was before the Corona problem.

    trump won Wisconsin by 22,748 votes, or 0.77%. You figure that the Alt Right has a higher death rate (even before Covid-19), and you have a real good chance that Biden will win Wisconsin in 2020. It is a real battleground state.
