Amazon spent $40 million for the Mail Order Melania propaganda film directed by accused sexual predator Brett Ratner for a president accused of the same thing.

Social justice, equal rights and equal pay, environmental protections, racial equality, respect and recognition for Indigenous peoples, equal educational opportunities, a fair wage for a fair day's work, support for disadvantaged people. These were some of the issues of the left when I was young.
