What I call "the left" is a rather small minority in the US. with little power.
It seems to me that you are using the term much as the fringe right has since the '50s, to include the center.
Remember when Robert Welch called President Eisenhower a card-carrying Communist?
I just mentioned a poll which has 55% of Americans identifying as pro choice. I'm betting there are more who
are pro-life, but will not support laws preventing people from traveling across state lines to get abortions.
That seems to me a CENTRIST position. It is certainly a majority position.
If Biden wins and abortion is not prohibited by federal law, I won't see that as "the left" imposing its beliefs on everyone else.
I'll see that as the democratic defeat of a minority belief by a majority of voters.
And right now, "the Left" as you define it, is all in for democracy. The Trump right is not. Their party leader is attempted the
greatest election fraud in US history and they still want him in charge of "election integrity."
Project 2025 is very much the creation of a small and organized group of interconnected conservative scholars and think tanks.
They intend to reshape the executive as directly as the Federalist Society intended to reshape the Supreme Court.
If I recall correctly, the centrist, majority opinion, is abortion with a term limit, such as not beyond 15 weeks.
The issue is radicals endorsing full term abortions and killing the child in the case of a botched abortion where the baby survives.
The majority option is not 100% pro-life, or 100% pro-choice, but an amalgam in the middle.
Whichever side is painting it differently is wrong.
Such as you in this instance.
Keep being you.
