I don't think it's so much left of centre views as common sense. Collective will has been the lifeblood of your great nation, from civil war, labour movement, isolation to participation in two world wars, civil rights; in our own time accepting a Catholic---I was with JFK when he won Wisconsin and next primary 97-per-cent-Protestant West Virginia---and a black as presidents, all triumphs of the American spirit proving the air at the top of the mountain is not too rare for common people, subordinating notions of left or right, doing collectively what you thought best for your country. Bless America.
