There’s been a great deal of scare talk about the “far left” and how they’ll create chaos and turn everything evil in this country. I thought I’d share what I believe the actual left stands for. I think you’ll find it not so terrifying. Heck, you might even agree with some of these points.
Getting health care shouldn’t cause bankruptcy.
Full time work should earn a living wage. Particularly for “essential workers,” now that we can agree who they are.
Infrastructure — things like safe drinking water, school buildings, roads, and bridges that won’t fall down — is important and we really need to spend money on it.
Police departments don’t need tanks. They don’t need rubber bullets. Defunding means no tank and rubber bullet money. They need to knock and announce themselves before trying to bust your door down. And they should refrain from shooting black people and dogs under the pretext of being scared.
We only have the one planet and we should try to take better care of it. Heck, even Jesus would want us to do that.
Speaking of What Would Jesus Do: don’t want an abortion or a gay marriage? Don’t have one. Want to prevent abortions? Advocate for better access to birth control, birth defect prevention, and rape prevention.
Almost nobody actually seriously wants to take guns away from law abiding citizens! Yeah, there’s a few crackpots among the left (and among the right too). We do want responsible gun ownership by people who follow and respect both the law and safety rules. That specifically excludes most of the nuts out there showing off or even aiming their weapons in public.
The rule of law is important. Lawmakers who actually work for their constituents are important.
Nobody wants anarchy. Trust me on this. I hope you find this guide helpful.
