LOL. Yes, declare what you decide are left people and who not. And apparently according to you democrats are a bunch of people pretending to be left. If we are defining left as caring about working class, then the democrats aren't left and a left does not effectively exist in the US. In that case replace left with liberals or whatever you deem the right term.

Well, both the Democrats and Republicans have shifted further to the right so politically speaking the left doesn't really exist in the US anymore not on a national level anyway. 

Yep, pretty much. This is a chart I made a few years ago, and it still pretty much applies. 

The Democratic Party is mostly a centrist party, especially on economics. Maybe less so on cultural issues.
