Anyone doing leftist purity tests is usually where I start with far left. I can fully agree that America does not represent many real leftist views because there are not many real leftist in America. They are not a majority.
They do wonderful things in smaller towns where they are the majority. But yes, I agree with you. There are no real leftist in the US government and that’s pretty much by design because they’re not well represented in the general public.
3rd party avg about 5% in the US, and even then they aren't necessarily all left.
So what you describe as 'not a majority' is more accurately extremely rare.
