  • Its possible for both to be true. Id much prefer a ranked choice voting system.

    What’s also important would be to 1) unionize businesses over a certain size 2) convert those businesses to worker Cooperatives

    A worker cooperative is a business that is owned collectively by all the employees and decisions are made through democracy (structure depending on application).

    Some countries have had programs where unions can buy shares of the company they represent and the government will match it. Then either the union eventually owns the majority shares and it effectively becomes a worker cooperative or the state and the union own majority shares.





  • Name one left wing policy Democrats have executed in the past 20 years.

    They actively block unions when we should be setting up matching programs so that unions can buy up their companies and convert them to worker cooperatives

    We should be building high speed rail and getting rid of cars in favor of walkable cities and public transport.

    We should be building infrastructure from renewable energy to water delivery systems.

    We need a massive increase on corporate taxes and taxes on the rich. I’m even down for a wealth cap at $5 million.

    We can’t even get basic center-right policies like banning politicians from trading stocks or making sure politicians have frozen assets while in office to prevent them from using their position for their own gain.

    To be left wing you have to side with workers rights over property rights, People over employers. That is why the left starts at anti-capitalism.
