I want to point out that this is Lemmy, and the overton window is shifted here. That only certain north-western European countries are more left wing than America.
My point is, that dems are in fact left wing. It’s a subjective claim, to be sure, but when most of the world is to the right of America, and the leftmost major party of America falls inline with a lot of the left wing views, (like with transpeople and abortion), surely they’re left wing enough.

Barely. The rest of his politics are right wing.

In any case, he is a dem.

The same applies to the democratic party. At best they act like centrists, at worst like right wingers.
There’s a reason why “how I’d the best case scenario Joe Biden” god spread around as a meme among leftists.
I’m pretty sure that window was always left wing on Lemmy. The “original” instance to my understanding, lemmy.ml, is very left wing.
That’s been the case for at least two centuries.
