As things stand now, 6 hours later, I am at +3 votes! About the best I ever do. I am surprised too.
You are right in saying that they left has not yet gotten everything they want with respect to healthcare, minimum wage, college tuition, etc. But the inexorable trend seems to be that we become more of a welfare state year by year.
But I'm referring more to the power of the left to cancel those who dare to disagree with their pronouncements. It is on that score that I think 95% of the American public should be in agreement: Freedom of speech, not just a constitutional right which prevents government reprisals but a rich cultural value, is something that needs to be protected and nurtured.
