  So it’s accurate but they’re both wrong because

  1. He is the left.

  2. He shouldn’t even be trying to converse with literal USSR advocates and literal anarchists as if they were part of his base.

  Sucks that the system in the USA is broken but until it’s fixed and we have more than two parties, democrats are the left.

    It’s better not to equate the two parties of the USA to the parties in a parliamentary system it’s a different beast.

    The Democrats are the coalition of the left of center interest groups of the current time, and Republicans the coalition of the right of center interest groups of the current time.

    These groups are more the parties of the parliamentary system and run candidates in the primaries of their respective parties, and possibly as independent from time to time (particularly when they feel a bit pushed out of the main parties). Also they push these candidates at all levels (local, state, congress ect)

    I would love some sort of rank choice/instant runoff ballots to make more choices easier in the voting lineup, however those who are pushing for third parties without trying to run local politicians or promoting policies ect will likely not succeed in that system either.
