In reply to the discussion: What issues are considered "far left"? [View all]LeftInTX

abolish all wealth and private property.
I've seen that on Party of Socialism and Liberations signs. But they don't have a seat at the table.
The article mentions: taxpayer-funded transgender surgery for prison inmates. (This isn't far left) It's a very small part of the population and maybe Kamala should have provided more context. This isn't just about transgender rights, it's about prisoners who are transgender getting "free surgery", whereas those on the outside have to pay for it. It's a bit like "Willy Horton". It's unfortunate that it was framed this way. But it makes us appear like we're catering to a very small percent of the population, versus a majority. However, the concept isn't "far left".
