For clarity: The Democratic party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered right wing in much of the world. The conservative party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered far right wing in much of the world.
In the US: We have “actual” left wing politicians, who frequently are shouted down and forced to align themselves with Democrats to get any sort of movement.
The two party system works to keep those two teams going.
