Letter to the editor: Attack ad runs short on truth

Posted

Politics! Attack ads funded by millions of dollars include one against a woman running for office in this county.

They repeatedly show a clip of her saying in an interview that she is a little to the left of her colleagues. The ads show senior citizens in horror.

“Did she really say that?” 

They show concern about the comment and their lifestyles.

Definition: A left-leaning Democrat holds progressive views typically supporting universal healthcare, tuition-free public college, expanded social safety nets, stronger government regulation of corporations, labor protections, climate policies, investment in renewable energy, reducing income inequality, and promoting social justice.



Leftism includes a variety of beliefs and approaches. Socialism focuses on collective ownership and control of the means of production.
