Hold on to your butts.
You said “leftist.” What do Democrats and liberals have to do with anything?
Idk man. I have always lumped left / democrat / liberal together, and right / conservative together
Democrats in the US are centre-right. “Normal” Mitt Romney/GWB Republicans are far right. The current GOP is, without a drop of hyperbole, full-on fascist.
There is not any leftist political coalition to speak of in the US. Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.

This is based on policies he pushes for, right? I always got the impression he would push as far left as possible, which with today’s democrats means “center left at best”.
