Heck I would be happy with even so much as “left of center” which we don’t really have in the United States. Biden is right of center. Bernie sanders for example is only slightly left of center.
I'd argue Bernie is slightly right of center, even. He isn't advocating for Socialization of the economy, just an expansion of the safety nets.
Nah man. Left of center is not that at all. United States citizens are pretty left wing when it comes to policy when you take away language of dems and cons.
Left of center basically means any candidate where the democrats are saying, yea but if you vote for the other guy it will be ten times worse. So, Biden and every democrat candidate for 40 years
I edited to say left not right lol
What policy is left wing? Left of center is Socialism.
You believe slightly left of center is socialism? How does it feel to be so damn clueless?
The center would be a 50/50 mix of Worker owned industry and Capitalist owned industry, like a form of extremely socialized Social Democracy. To the left of that, you have a majority Socialist economy, to the right of that you have a majority Capitalist economy.
Simple as.
Oversimplifying a bit
How so?
