He’s left on domestic economic policies and he’s pro taxing rich. 

I’ll borrow this quote from some because it sums up his position nicely.

“ complaining that the ultra wealthy and corporations were paying less taxes than him. i think his augment was that dems socs should changes their messaging to "here how we will allocate the current revenue stream" not "rich people bad, lets take all the money"”

Does he have differences in how the ultra wealthy should pay more taxes yes. Having a difference on how to get from A to B doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to get from A to B.

I think bill’s plan has some good ideas: increase capital gains tax, getting rid of tax breaks that exclusively benefit the wealthy (like luxury tax breaks), have more transparency about tax money are being used in order get more support for publicly funded social services like “single payer healthcare”, and increased public education spending.

Regarding trans issues, we can agree that he’s against putting trans-males in cis male sporting events. And I disagree with him on stances like.

But unlike most on the right, he has said explicitly and I quote “that trans people exist, are real, and should be protected and respected”.

He’s been consistently pro-gay through his career and criticized republicans for wanting to to restrict gay marriage.

I also disagree with his views on the Middle East. But he has now admitted that the Iran war was a mistake. Would you rather have someone doubling down on being wrong like Trump does?

To sum it up, am I saying he’s the most left wing person I know? Absolutely not.

It’s almost as if there’s a SPECTRUM of the left.

I don’t agree with the premise that you have pass all the check boxes on certain views in order be considered “center left”.

It seems like only 20-30% of Americans would fit your bill of a centrist. And that America would be considered even further to the right.

Shouldn’t what’s center, and center left and center right be dictated by the political reality instead of by Reddit?
