    It… Doesn’t?

    Here’s a bunch of stuff:

    • Heavily subsidised / free education
    • Healthcare subsidised / costs capped at yearly max of a couple of $100
    • Decent paid parental leave, minimum 20 weeks
    • hmm… I realised that I don’t care. Usually I’d delete my comment. Meh

        I agree. In the US tho? This is so far left it’s not funny. In fact, it’s deeply worrisome.

          It’s really not. It’s both mainstream Democrat stuff and not at all actual leftism.

            So, remind me which primary candidate has campaigned on making this federal law, and not been regarded as a “socialist”?

              How someone is demeaned by their political opposition is often completely divorced from reality.

        Well to be fair, to fight over who the real leftist is and what the end goal should be, is as left as it can get.
