The Far Right: Climate change is fake. Any government effort to provide for people is wasteful and actually makes people more lazy and helpless than simply allowing them to face the dangers of poverty alone. Taxation is equivalent to theft. America was made for and by white people and people who aren't white should slowly be deported to create a white ethno-state. The US military is entitled to violate human rights abroad because this is what is needed to keep us safe. Campaign contributions are speech, and any attempt to limit political giving is an unconstitutional effort to limit speech. Employers and corporations should be able to shape the economy and how it works. Government should cut regulations and taxes in order to maximize corporate profits, this way they will hire people and give them jobs.
Center: Better things than the status quo are not realistic. Donald Trump is bad. We should get rid of him, so we can return to the status quo of the Clinton/Bush/Obama years.
The Far Left: Climate change is a real and present threat to our safety and demands big, bold action. Racism is real and threatens people's safety and limits their opportunity, this also demands action. Too much wealth and power has accrued into very few hands. Government and workers should take action to create a more equal distribution of wealth. Government should provide baseline human needs like education, healthcare, food, and shelter to every single person. The US military should not violate human rights abroad, this actually threatens our safety because it creates enemies. Unlimited campaign contributions to politicians pull our government toward wealthy people and interest groups and away from ordinary voters. Through unions, government intervention, and worker-owned co-operatives, the economy should be shaped by the people who live and work within it.
I think the left is the political camp with the policies that are most responsive to the problems people face in their lives and the most informed by reality. Climate change is a catastrophic threat. Racism is a powerful force in US history and is absolutely alive and well. The middle class is hanging by a thread, living under conditions that, if they were proposed in Europe, would cause riots in the streets. Mass shootings, global warming, gofundme's for medical costs, a trillion bucks in student loan debt, rotting infrastructure, structural racism, a bought political system, a rise in far-right violent hate groups, these are the problems we face and to me it seems like the far-left is the only camp that is actually interested in solving them with a sense of urgency.
