My boldest take is that America doesn't actually have a "left" in any cohesive politically organized sense and it's weird to complain about "the left" or "leftists" as a single group
What most people call "the left" in media and analysis is either progressive Democrats (who are a minority within their own party) or People on Social Media Who Disagree With Them (hold leftist values/have leftist praxis but don't actually constitute a mass political party or organizing force)
