There are economic issues where I want the Democrats to go farther left.

To me, economic issues are the most important ones, and those are the ones Biden/Harris won't dare hurt the wealthy to make things a little better for the rest of us.

Oh, I thought removing statues, having the police reform themselves and begging white peasants not to be racist was the most important issues of our time. Who cares about the economics? It's not the Democrats of 2020.

I think most of us here can agree the Democrats really don’t give a shit about helping poor and/or marginalized groups, but I’m confused by your response. Are you saying statue removal, police reform, and racism are rooted in economic issues?

No, my point is that the D's prioritize those issues and completely ignore the economic issues.

That’s because painting BLM on a street in your town is a lot easier to do than redistributing wealth. Remember when Hillary told Bernie Sanders that Medicare For All wouldn’t solve racism? Pathetic, but also a shortsighted approach. All these issues are related, Democrats just opt for the path of least resistance for obvious reasons: they wanna play themselves up as the defenders of the downtrodden without having to actually do anything about it.

I guess my point is universal healthcare WOULD help with racism, as would a jobs guarantee. Wage increases, card check, a green new deal, and all these programs we see as strictly economic.

I'm really glad I started this thread, because I think it's opened up a really important discussion. Just to be clear, I agree with all the criticism being leveraged against the Democratic party here. Democrats are not left-leaning enough, especially when it comes to reducing our military influence over the globe and protecting the interests of the working class.

I also recognize how frustrating it is that people on the left of the political spectrum, many of whom supported the BLM movement, are now being asked to vote for a candidate who used to be a state prosecutor. It's insulting.

Like military spending, it has become a central part of our economy, besides the feel good effect it has for law and order types.
