The American left is generally still pretty right wing by the rest of the world's standards, just look at what we're struggling to get accomplished in this country. Social programs, universal healthcare, increasing minimum wage to a livable standard — it's an uphill battle trying to catch up with the rest of the developed world. A lot of Democratic politicians are in the pocket of big business, as well.
Still a proud Democrat, though I have my reservations with a few things.
