  Ah yeah sure, taxing the rich, removing money from politics, making healthcare and bodily autonomy a human right, all such right ideals. /sarcasm

    That’s what the democratic socialists and social democrats want, sure.

    The rest of the Democrats call them radicals and Hakeem Jeffries just told them to leave the party.

    I don’t think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.

      The DNC haven't had more than 48 senate seats in over ten years, and just before that they expanded medicaid to tens of millions of americans.

      Taxing the Rich was the Harris Campaign, with promise of a unrealized capital gains tax for earners over $1M USD, and enshrining Roe V. Wade as well as many other things in the list require defeating fillibuster, but even if the senate had changed the rules to bypass fillibuster: only 48 seats.

        All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things.
