Identity politics is on the right in Israel. In a general sense I think it might not belong on the same spectrum as redistributive policies or militarism.
Biden was the strongest supporter of workers unions we have ever had, and the left in the US reviled Biden. Including the unions, largely.
It's time to stop thinking in materialist terms when analyzing US politics, that has completely flown the coop. It's all culture war.
That's true to an extent, but President Biden also maintained a de facto open borders policy which undercut wages and drove up housing prices for US union members. This was deeply unpopular with the union members that I know. I'm not trying to start a debate on the merits of various immigration policy options, just pointing out that union members perceived this as a lack of support.
>The US is very liberal, but liberal doesn't mean left.
At no point was "liberal" mentioned in this comment chain prior to your comment.
>Left to me means workers movements, and there's very little of that in the US.

Duping people, not actually trying to help them.

The current new guard GOP are currently demonizing and firing federal workers who have protections under the law. Their actions are not pro worker.
Left to me means workers movements, and there's very little of that in the US.
