Abortion: 5 out of 7 of the original Supreme Court justices that effectively paved the way for abortion to be legal, were Republican appointed. Greater LGBT acceptance is one of a few things that the parties have shifted a little bit left. We're a long ways away from left wingers busting down corporations, building up unions. A large chunk of the 1900's had 70-90% marginal tax rate for upper income. The EPA was created by Richard Nixon by an executive order. The Affordable Care Act/Obamacare is heavily based on Republican proposals and healthcare bills. There are Republicans today that run on dismantling the very things that they were pushing just 20 years ago. And Democrats are not generally pushing for the same kinds of left wing policy that I was mentioning. Economic policy for both parties is much more right wing than it used to be. Socially, a lot of left wing policy has won out. |
Truth is Democrats have been bought out. Most of the big companies like Google and Microsoft they donated more to Kamala than Trump. Watch the DNC a big arena with corporate media and investors watching from the balcony and sponsorships all over the convention. The major corporations arent doing this for free. They're so embedded into the Democratic Party (RNC as well) that its going to take soem serious policy to change lobbying and big money in elections or the right progressive candidate just refuses to take the money.
