Yeah nah. The left divided themselves over the antics of Hilary last presidential campaign season. The left is no longer "the left". It's more left, and extreme left. Just like the right has divided itself into right, and extreme right. I'm more left than most people in the US, and can't stand the extreme left. Their gender politics and equality of outcome bullshit pisses me off. I can understand how people, like yourself, can see them as the mainstream left because the media portrays them as such. Just like the media portrays Trump supporters as the mainstream right. Neither of which are correct.
I believe we are entering a new dawn where the traditional political labels of left or right no longer suffice due to the nuances of modern politics.
