Democrats are left-wing even by European standards
I'm not going by European standards
European standards are way more leftist by americans, that's what I am saying
Sure
That wasn't sarcastic btw
And that wasn't either
Ffs
So if an american party is considered left-wing in Europe, it's quite left-wing
You could argue it's ever so slightly over the line
But they're still useless
They still pass nothing and are all retarded
And they're still capitalists
Economically, I am pro-capitalism, but agree that high social inequality is cancer, rich people should spend the money to help their communities, and big corporations need some regulation
Yeah
That would be in line with centre ish left economoy
I am fine with universal healthcare, it's okayish in my country
It's great in my country
I also think there should be 2-year fully paid parental leave for working mothers
The employer should be paid like 10-15% of their pregnant employee's previous wages by the government, so it doesn't just fire her
What do you mean by "should" spend money on communities
What if they'd rather burn their money
But morally, I think that should be expected of them
Not legally
Imagine giving them the option
If you don't it's communism lol
Rad
Can't force people into doing the morally right thing
Why not
That's immoral in itself

Doesn't outweigh the benefit
It doesn't need to
The ends can't justify the means
Nah, they will just launder the money and try to avoid helping their communities
1 persons freedom is more important than the group
In most circumstances, however there are limits
Yeah but this is money this isn't something crazy like bodily autonomy
Most people
Would say that 1 person shouldn't be forced to trade their lives for 2
You should be able to refuse that
