    It’s complicated. Basically, the farthest left we have in the US are the social liberals, which is left of center on social issues (gay marriage, trans rights, feminism) but still not very left economically (at best you get milquetoast support of unions, but they still take bribes from the corporations and legislate in their favor).

    SocLibs are the enlightened center, but also as far left as we go politically.

      Overturning Citizens United and increasing the effective corporate tax rate has been a core DNC stance for over a decade and a half, so I disagree that they’re not left economically.
