The entirety of the rest of the western world is more left leaning than US politics. The Dems are center right in any other country. The only reason for that is decades and decades of capitalist propaganda programming the electorate. An electorate that when asked about specific issues is largely much more open to leftist solutions than the bought politicians they vote for.
