There is no left or right here. There is ultra right and right. Trump is a ultra right authoritarian ruler, and the Democratic party is just another right wing party. The left vs right is just a way for powerful people to have someone to blame. Please stop using these propaganda terms.
I don't like using these terms without qualifications, just like socialism means three different things in three different contexts.
But saying the Democratic party, with AOC, Bernie Sanders and two decades of progressism is "right"... you might as well say the sky is green. That's just ignoring any meaning of the words, not trying to find a more precise one.
the progressive wing of the Democratic party does not have much sway or power within the party tho. the party itself is centrist.
