I was an adolescent in the 80s, so being called part of the “radical left” just makes it sound cooler 😎

same....

I remember smoking in the bathroom wishing there was legal pot and pads/tampons in the bathroom, come to think of it! an we were taught art, auto mechanics, music history,( they may have some, My daughter didn't have that in the 00's. And my mom never had to by toilet paper, pencils, sharpeners, etc, etc.

But, we were rad!

It appears that for much of the USA unless you're somewhere to the right of Atilla the Hun you're radical left. To anyone else in other countries the idea that any major US politician is anything other than centre right is beyond ridiculous.

It depends on how you define "radical left".
According to some Americans, feeding school children and providing free tampons makes you "radical left".

Now the radical left is 90% of the world's population, not so cool anymore.

I was born in the 80s, grew up mostly in the 90s. Was a conservative for like 2 minutes in my 20s.

Now I am a Marxist.

That’s groovy!!
