That sounds right to me but is both a little hopeless (I guess we’ll just flip flop the presidency term-to-term forever?) and disagreeing with the premise of “pro-corporatism” from the OP.

Weird question, were there any elections in between those years? If so, why did they get left out?

Either Joe Biden wasn’t “pro-corporate” or there was some other similarity to the 2016 and 2024 candidates that fits better…

A couple guys tried that during the campaign IIRC.

But monkeys never ask questions.

Science has yet to determine if monkeys would be able to type “wherefore art thou Romeo?”

I’m not saying this is what happened, but this IS how a person would act if they had another series of mini strokes a month before they were on the ballot for president.

But…what did it mean?

Ending grain requisitions and transitioning to prodnalog stimulates the economy thus Lenin is a right wing hack.

You just aren’t, but I don’t know where the “no U” is going to get us.

Seeking social justice through redistributive social and economic policies of government.

You have to realize that Republicans are not the party pushing for these things. What you are saying does not retort anything I said.

The metric you are using is not the metric the actual real world uses for center left. You are bringing your internet lefty definitions and declaring that I’m wrong to say only internet lefties would use them. Major parties in the middle of the political spectrum are not typically pushing for the overthrow of Capitalism.

Being left of center is not solely defined by being Marxist, and one country, even if it actually was Marxist and not 3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat, would not define the standard of what constitutes “left” in the world.

I’m not saying Marxism isn’t Left. I’m saying it’s not literally the only thing that IS Left.

Ok I don’t expect you to see it but this is exactly why I said it’s a lie that online lefties tell themselves. Globally, in real life politics, yes you absolutely can be center-left without demanding the overthrow of Capitalism.

They want to use the power of government to reduce the harms of capitalism, via minimum wages, social safety nets, child tax credit, subsidizing more environmentally friendly energy production and electric cars.

No they are not as far left as you and the people you talk to online, I didn’t say that. You are allowed to want different policies. You’re just incorrect to call them right wing.

That Democrats would be considered right-of-center in other countries. They’re clearly a center-left party.

(This is a lie internet lefties tell each other)

You’d think their shells would be more sand-colored at birth.

One small uh-oh for a man, one giant extinction event for mankind.
