In what sense could that possibly be "left" then?
Europeans might disagree and say that all Americans are on the right.
With no economic components I'm genuinely curious what you consider the "American sense" of the left, in the sense of actual policy. Pro-choice, I guess?

The economic components were maybe 1/3 of her platform, and not all of her economic positions were incompatible with free markets.
But by American standards, her platform was well left of the average politician.
(Though I suspect, had she been elected, she would have ignored the platform and governed as a corporatist.)
Again, only if you entirely discount her economic positions, which are the core positions of any "left" figure.
You're free to paint with however wide a brush you wish, and your other comments in this thread leave little doubt that you'll retain your opinion regardless of how this exchange turns out. But simply because the Democratic party is the "more PC" corporate capitalist party, and the Republican party is the "less PC", does not mean that either of them represents anything remotely resembling economic left interests.
The Swedish left is regarded by everyone else as utter madness. See how the media covered their refugee policy a few years ago.
When somebody says, "Everybody at my company is a leftist!" they're not talking about people who read Marx and support trade unions. They're talking about culture.
