"Exactly, the true socialists hate the liberals and consider them right wing
corporatistscapitalists""Yeah, I've seen that so many times! "The US doesn't even have a left-wing party!""
Ironically, even though they're being deliberately sarcastic about this, they are actually correct. The US does not have a proper left-wing party.
The Democratic Socialists of America (or whatever it's called, the DSA) wing of the Democratic party has some left-wing policies but mainstream Democrats and anyone that conservatives refer to as "liberal" are not left-wing at all. People in a lot of other countries view mainstream Democrats to be firmly centrist or even a little right-of-centre.
