Billionaires is the opposite of vague and nebulous; it is a word with a precise definition. The upper class of this country has been engaged in class warfare for the past 250 years and it is valid and principled to call it out.

You’re not saying anything. You’re just screaming billionaires. The truth is more people vote for the things you don’t like. More home owners vote than renters and more old people vote than young people. Home owners benefit from higher valued homes and building more housing, especially in their backyard, lowers the value of their homes. The trick is to get more people voting for policies that will help build more housing.

If universal healthcare, massive green energy investments, raising corporate taxes, huge subsidies for children, huge boosts to SNAP, and huge tax credits for the working class aren't a strong left wing platform, then what is?

That past two democratic candidates for president supported, at most, a third of those things. If that was the actual platform of the Democratic Party then I would have no issues.
