By that logic, FDR was so far left he broke the scale! In the… 30s.

And yet he was considered then (and now) as less socialist / more politically to the right than many leaders in Europe at the time.

He was our most progressive president, and certainly further left than any US president since, but even he wasn’t “far left.” And certainly the neoliberal gerontocracy that dominates the current democratic party is nowhere near as left as he was.
