obama was center-right
Yeah socialized healthcare and a penalty tax is such a fucking right-wing move.
More importantly he's authoritarian as hell, as every president has been since Jimmy Carter.
Obama didn't support a public option or anything like that, so not sure how you make the leap to social medicine in your brain
penalty tax... doesn't sound like socialism either, that sounds like neoliberalism
which is center/center-right if you are the rest of the world
medium left if you are US
so you are a little bit right, if you keep the shades up
Rather than arguing the definition of the spectrum subjectively, why don't you try defining it? I did.
Economic authoritarianism is what it means to be left, an entire economic class of busybody micromanagers. Legal indifference to the existence of business organizations is what it means to be right: no separate sets of rules for individuals and organizations.
Who's to your left? Why don't you think government should interfere in places where they think it should?
