Lol, "the left pushing the line so much further to the left" you're on crack. Nothing has happened. I'm progressive as shit but literally all that's happening is the exact opposite, the Republicans dragging the conversation further and further to the right (not that there's any good faith in there to talk about shit). Congratulations, that culture war the Republicans have been crying about was one they started and it has worked. Lol ...fn humans.

But yea, crime is a thing and local politicians suck. Shrug

The right has pushed the line so far right that anything slightly to left is “too far”.

Communism! Man, I wonder if crime would be better if people didn't have so much to be anxious for, so little fucking hope.

If you can’t see all the stuff they have done to push the line to right then really there isn’t a point in explaining it.

But I will give one example. Red states trying to pass laws to allow driver to run over protesters.

LOL, I agree the right has pushed the line very far (actually extremely far) to the right, but if you think the left hasn’t also pushed its own line pretty far to the left, you are on some serious drugs.

Saying the left’s extremism isn’t as bad as the right’s extremism (a viewpoint I’d largely agree with) is NOT the same thing as saying many of the left’s current positions are A-OK.

We are the most "right" developed nation in the world. Neo liberalism doesn't seem too far left to me at all.../not a Democrat, just a progressive. Like what's the most left move? Student debt stuff maybe? Plenty of Euro nations will bloody give foreigners free education if they learn the language ffs.

Why should governments forgive people’s college loan debts? Those people agreed to pay for a service (paying for their higher education) under the terms provided. Sure, the terms may have been financially questionable and ridiculous for those paying for the service, but people agreed to pay for it.

In my eyes it is people’s responsibility to pay for services they agreed to purchase. I mean, I didn’t like paying off tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt either when I had that debt, but I made sure I budgeted to enable myself to pay it off.

Can I ask the same question but in a different way?

Why should the people in city pay to subsidize the suburbs? It’s the people in suburbs job pay for the infrastructure required to allow the suburb to work.

The difference is free higher education would benefit the population, suburbs sprawl doesn’t.

Why are the blue states paying for red states? Also, see how I spoke to other countries that literally will educate foreigners and we don't even do citizens ...lol. Anyway, crabs in a bucket, you get what you wanted and guess what...it'll be worse for everyone! Anyway, I've given up on humans "I was tortured, why should you be? Generational torture is how you build civilization!"

Why don't you define "the left," and what other possible political alignments you see. Like I said, I think the Republicans won the bs cultural war to make you think this. Shrug. Also, if you think Republicans are economically conservative...they really fucking won, lol.
