The "compromise" suggestions are terrible. I half suspect the Democrats propose them because they're trying to preserve the problem so they can run on trying to solve it again next time. (The Republicans have done the same thing with the war on drugs/terror.)

> The USA democrats aren't a left wing party, they're a center and even center right party. A politically established left wing doesn't exist in the USA like it does in Europe.

"The USA republicans aren't a right wing party, they're a center and even center left party. A politically established right wing doesn't exist in the USA like it does in Saudi Arabia."

You can anchor anything anywhere. The Saudis aren't really right wing because they're not literally Hitler. The Nordic countries aren't really left wing because they have private industry. It isn't really saying anything.

Even the concept is flawed. Is a tax cut for the poor a left-wing program because it goes to the poor, or a right-wing program because it's a tax cut and implies a reduction in the size of government?

It matters if a policy is sound, not whether it's dexter or sinister.
