South Carolina just based legislation saying medical professionals don't have to treat or care for members of minorities
In the last year 19 states have enacted laws restricting the rights of minorities to vote.
Across the country over 400 anti LGBT laws have been introduced into state legislatures including laws restricting the rights of minorities to apply for adoption or foster care. Legal protections for business that discriminate against minority customers and the forcible outing of LGBT youth by school employees
Virginia's governor just vetoes a bill protecting employers from litigation for employment discrimination

I don't trust that you are correct on any of this. You're really good at putting a spin on something to make it sound like something else. Or leaving relevant details out just to make sound worse than it is. I've seen you do this far too often.

@SilverBear seems to be correct. Your post though was a tad ad hominem.

What policies touted by the current leadership of the Democratic Party are “center-left”?

Well, this is the American politics forum section, not the international one. By American standards, Democrat policies are typically center-left, while Republican ones are typically center-right.

Legislators in South Carolina on Friday passed a bill which would allow healthcare providers to deny care based on their personal beliefs. It would also apply to insurance companies, which may be entitled to refuse to pay for care.

South Carolina lawmakers on Friday passed a bill allowing medical professionals and insurance companies to deny care based on personal belief. Some say the legislation, which now heads to the state Senate for consideration, would disproportionately impact LGBTQ+ people, women, and people of color.

That looks like that minorities would be affected is a matter of opinion.

What policies touted by the current leadership of the Democratic Party are “center-left”?

1. The belief that there is systemic racism
2. Medicare for all
3. Housing is a right
4. Government funding for abortions
5. More gun control
6. Looking at reparations
7. Path to citizenship for illegals
8. Equality Act
9. Packing the supreme court
10. Elimination of the electoral college

Just to note a few.

Then there is the Democratic parties of the various states that are even further left. Such as California, Washington and Oregon.
