USA Today is left-wing? I thought it was a free reading rag for traveling businessmen at the hotel breakfast buffet.
Compared to what?
Compared to a dozen or so of the most liberal countries in the world, all of which are located in Europe - fair enough.
Compared to the world as a whole today, including Asia and Africa? Almost everything in America is left wing, including the republican party and USA today.
Compared to virtually any government anywhere prior to 1800? Again, almost everything in America is left wing, including the republican party and USA today.
That is just not true. For example, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Iran, and Sri Lanka has universal health care - the United States does not.
Go ahead. Tell me about how Iran is more left wing than the United States. Perhaps they have especially generous rights for women?
The majority of those countries have had coups in the last decade and severely restrict basic liberal political freedoms like free political speech.
Your examples are pretty much an admission that you're wrong, afaict.
I just did. Iran has universal health care - the United States does not.
But I don't think it's about one issue - it's about all of them, taken as a whole. And I think you know that and I don't think you're arguing in good faith by acting otherwise. So I'm not going to reply anymore.
I'm not sure why you are asking for a source.. you didn't provide one for your perspective, and the facts are not really in dispute here, only the analysis.
