Centre-Left

You believe in promoting social justice, reducing income inequality, and ensuring access to essential services while maintaining a market-based economy.

Centre-left political ideology is a term used to describe a spectrum of political beliefs that lean towards the left-wing on the political scale but are closer to the centre than to the far left. This ideology is often associated with social equality, social justice, and a mixed economy, combining private enterprise with government intervention to promote social welfare. It is also typically associated with progressive social policies, including support for human rights, environmentalism, and multiculturalism.

Why might ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to own a home contribute to a more stable society?

 @9KZQ7WNPopulist from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

People worry more about their home and ensuring their community is taken care of properly.

 @9L57V2KRepublican from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

HOA (home and owner association) always want to make their neighborhoods clean and tidy and if they dont like what they see from a house they report and give that owner a warning, a fine or something to annoy the house owner

 @9KZQK29 from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

So then everyone has shelter and a growing net worth.

 @9KZQT37Socialist  from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

If they did not have to worry about housing or basic human needs, then they could be more willing to start a business that might fail, promoting innovation.

 @9KZQBTCUnity from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that everyone should deserve a home so they can better themselves and have a opportunity to get a job and get money to provide for themselves/family

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What does a fair society look like to you, and how far do you think we are from that ideal?

 @9HKGXK5Independent from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

A fair society to me is where everyone gets the rights they deserve. If you're an awful person (pedophiles, zoophiles, serial killers, etc) you get your rights revoked. We are somewhat far from this.

 @9HKH64M from California  answered…3yrs3Y

A fair society is one none infuenced by money and instead more leaned towards morals and we are far from that due to the corruption and loopholes government officials use.

 @9HKH6T8 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

it is something that would look very equal throughout the country but people can work their way up

 @9HKGR5XDemocrat from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Fair society is not everyone deserving equality but rather what they deserve

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would equal access to sports and arts programs in schools influence young people's development?

 @9KVZP7B from California  answered…2yrs2Y

It would influence young development in a positive way as the relationship team mates build is something different you won't find anywhere else.

 @9KW2DK4 from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

Equal access to sports and arts programs in school could positively affect young people's development. By providing them with access to things like this at a younger age it can allow them to spend more time with it and have it affect them more in life.

 @9KW29XY from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Everyone would have the same opportunities, so maybe their brains would develop more.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why do you think having accessible mental health services is important for young people today?

 @9LJ2TRM from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

to prevent suicide and make sure young people are in a good mental state

 @9LJ2Q6WConstitution from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Having accessible mental health services is important because a lot of youth today struggle with their mental health, and if there are more facilities they can get the help they need. This also may make mental health a more approachable topic.

 @9LJ2GWVDemocrat from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Because rates of mental health problems have been going up over the years so more support services for these issues is essential.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might your life change if every young person had a guaranteed internship to learn job skills?

 @9L58MK2 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Be more experienced with working with experienced and well trained people/doctors/ etc.

 @9L63MV6 from California  agreed…2yrs2Y

If people are given more training and required trained than they will be more eligible for the job they want because of their increased level of skill(s) in the subject.

 @9L58J57 from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

The economy would be boosted as there would be more apprentices working and selling services.

 @9L58SCBRepublican from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it would make things a lot easier if you had more people to work with.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's an example of a current event that highlights the need for social justice, and what lessons can be learned from it?

 @9J39G7V from Hawaii  answered…2yrs2Y

The rising cost of living vs the unmoving minimum wage

 @9J39F44 from Hawaii  answered…2yrs2Y

Abortion rights are an example of a need for social justice. We can learn that the government shouldn't have a say over people's bodies.

 @9J399RT from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

Transgender rights needs to have more protections, rights for all Americans must be secured.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does income inequality affect young people's choices about their future, such as college or career paths?

 @9J59WZ9Independent from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

Young people who are low income may not consider higher education due to its costliness

 @9J59G6NRepublicananswered…2yrs2Y

children raised in poverty face a higher risk of homelessness

 @9J598PC from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel like it changes their path of decision, because it's now based upon financial matters.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What changes would you make in your local area to promote equality and fairness?

 @9KV3YWN from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Make everybody have affordable housing and make going to school free. Everyone deserves to be educated, money should not determine if you can become educated or not.

 @9KVXN73 from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

People still need money to make a living and different buildings are all different sizes and require different materials to make. Those costs need to be covered. While yes, everyone should be allowed to have an education, The schools also need the money we give them to provide materials for students to use. The money is also used to provide food for students and to give the teachers their salary.

 @9KV49GD from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

Universal healthcare, minimum wage increase, stricter gun control laws

 @9KV44TG from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Putting more money into the inner city public schools

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Why do you think it's important for workers to have certain protections and rights on the job?

 @9HKHGM5Peace and Freedom from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Because if they are disrespected in their field of work or was treated unfair in their field of work they have rights to back them up.

 @9HKH85L from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Incase they are treated horribly so that they have a right to have guranteed rights

 @9HKH9R4 from South Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

Honestly I think if they do a really good job and they have done nothing wrong and fold all the rules and regulations of their employment why should they get fired. Nowadays I see people that hardly do anything keep their job and all the hard workers either quit or get fired for stupidity of the employer

 @9HKH7QW from California  answered…3yrs3Y

It's important because in case of any emergency happens they have the right for protections.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What would you do if you saw someone being treated unfairly because of who they are or where they come from?

 @9HGNH3Janswered…3yrs3Y

i would say something, because at the end of the day they are human and they do not deserve to be treated that way.

 @9HGNGR7 from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

I would tell the person who is treating them unfairly to stop.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If you could volunteer for a cause that promotes social justice, what would it be and why?

 @9HKHHC2 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

To educate myself about social justice issues because it can expand a person's sense of social justice.

 @9HKHFJK from Louisiana  answered…3yrs3Y

IT WOULD BE TEEN PARENTS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW OR WHY THEY HAD THAT BABY & ALL THAT CAN BE HARD ON A TEEN.

 @9HGNVDP from Utah  commented…3yrs3Y

helping the homeless get into homes or get what they need to help themselves because i was homeless for a while and got looked down upon a lot

the food or more like to update the system to common knowledge

 @9HKGPGFfrom Montana  answered…3yrs3Y

Have more resources for anti bullying and more social groups for LGBTQ+ youth

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can you think of a time when embracing diversity or inclusivity made a positive difference in your life or community?

 @9HKQLT8 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

My whole life would be an example growing up in la in a mostly minority populated city embrcing your culture has always been a way to connect with other people whether its to discuss similar traditions or the sam traditons with people.

 @9HKQG2Tfrom Maine  answered…3yrs3Y

I have never seen a neighborhood or a company reach higher standards after becoming more multicultural. The only standards diversity and inclusivity rise are artificial state-mandated quotas.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can you recall a time when you had to choose between doing what's profitable and doing what's right?

 @9HKH53DProgressive  from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

I started an online business and paid my little brother half of the value of his contributions in order to stay afloat. This still eats at me to this day

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What does social justice mean to you, and why might it be important in a functioning society?

 @9H93DZDanswered…3yrs3Y

Social justice means everyone deserves social rights and equal opportunities. Its important in society, as everyone has the right to defend themselves with these rights.

 @9HF98YK from Florida  commented…3yrs3Y

that part of social liberalism ideas that not center-left ideas because social issue always dominate in economics, foreign( in term in fairness). which move you more far left.

 @9HF98YK  from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

 @9H94XYVanswered…3yrs3Y

Social justice is standing up for what is morally right while understanding other perspectvies.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would you balance economic growth with ensuring everyone has access to basic needs like healthcare and education?

 @9H8YJ5X from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I would ensure everyone is getting what they need if not ill spend more on that side that has gotten less.

 @9H8YH5C from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

I think that we should focus on basic needs, which will boost morale and help to improve the economy.

 @9HF98YK from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

that lead into socialism or social democracy, that not center-left

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you witnessed an environmental issue in your area, like pollution, how would you like to see it addressed?

 @9JC92LV from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

I would like to see it addressed within the borough council and then higher up depending on the issue to ensure the safety of all citizens. If it is a major issue that could immediately affect the citizens, it should be addressed urgently.

 @9JC8Y7K from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I would like to see it addressed by coming up with the solutions to fix it

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How important to you is cultural diversity in the media you consume, such as books, movies, and TV shows?

 @9J4PYX2 from New Hampshire  answered…2yrs2Y

If it wasn’t shoved down my throat in every commercial, TV show and movie, I wouldn’t mind it so much. Now it makes most programming undesirable to watch because it’s so predictable and/or ridiculous.

 @9HTW75B from North Dakota  commented…2yrs2Y

Not at all. For example, there are shows with mostly one race and shows with mostly another. I’m just fine watching a show with more black people or more white people. If the show is good, im watching it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What would be the most effective way for your school or community to address and reduce instances of bullying?

 @9KY4CJH from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Rules and consequences should be clearly stated as students need to know what will happen if they engage in certain negative behavior. By establishing clear rules and reinforcing why behaviors are unacceptable, teachers and staff can help prevent and reduce incidents of bullying.

 @9KY2S35 from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

For a school to withstand bullying, they should comprehend the troubled students with recess or a stay-at-home vacation till they feel emotionally better to go to school

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's one thing you wish you could change about the way we address homelessness in your area?

 @9KN5S3J from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

I wish we actually made an effort to help out and genuinely provided resources for them to get out of their states.

 @9KN5CZ3Republican from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I wish people where nicer. I also wish those homeless people would get a job.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your daily life be impacted if your neighborhood had more public spaces like parks and libraries?

 @9J39PD6Republican from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

Not much. There is so much land around us everyone just uses that

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If everyone had access to healthcare and education, how do you think the world would change?

 @9HHD9J9 from Kansas  answered…3yrs3Y

The country would be in a way better place than what it is right now.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your community benefit from a 'living wage' law?

 @9LFRF82 from Wyoming  answered…2yrs2Y

It would be good because it can really help out some families

 @9LFM74Wanswered…2yrs2Y

It could reduce the amount of people living in poverty, and therefore people could actually live a comfortable life.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would the world look if every job offered a livable wage and humane working conditions?

 @9KW3FFW from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't believe every job deserves a livable wage; there are jobs that are there to start people out so they can get the basics of the job down and rise up in the ranks to get to a position where they can earn a livable wage. If we didn't have that then people wouldn't have ambition to get jobs that we need people to have since they would be able live off of being things like a gas station worker or a fast food worker.

 @9KVYCX4Constitution from Alabama  answered…2yrs2Y

Every job SHOULD NOT offer a "livable wage". Some jobs are strictly there as entrance jobs and cannot financially support employees on a "livable wage" that varies by their needs and geographical locations.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How does protecting the environment impact our daily lives and future prospects?

 @9HGP52K from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

The environment provides us with literally every thing we need to live and if we do not try to protect it, it will highly impact not only our daily lives but the future for everyone on earth.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might your future be different if education were completely free up to the college level?

 @9KHCWQV from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I'd prefer the education to be free up through an associates degree or through vocational training.

 @9KHCPFR from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

I would be able to not work full time during school so I would be able to finish faster.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If you had the power to redistribute wealth in society, how would you do it to achieve fairness?

 @9HGNSHL from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

I think that you can't achieve fairness because if you work a good job and makes the right money then you tried that hard for that. I think that anyone can have that job as long as you work that hard or want to do it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why is exposure to diverse cultures and perspectives in media vital to you and your peers?

 @9JGCHTP from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel it is important to learn and see other cultures.

 @9JGCDBS from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

It is vital to know more about the world and not live in a shell.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why might someone be for or against a higher tax rate on the extremely wealthy to fund public services?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why do you think there are such drastic differences in wealth and living standards among individuals?

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
