In other developed countries, the Democratic Party would be considered right wing.

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, New Zealand, and Canda. Democrats would likely be considered centrists in the UK, Australia, and Japan. Also liberals are not leftists.

From my knowledge it seems that left wingers in the USA and those countries generally want the same thing, such as universal healthcare, free education, open borders, legality of LGBTQ+, more social programs, etc. I don’t see anywhere that those on the far left in the Democratic Party would be seen as conservative or centrist in other countries. The establishment politicians probably, but not the new young ones

Yes, we’re talking about the actual powers that are currently in place, which would be establishment democrats. The Democratic Party, like I said. Not once did I say that the few actual leftists in America would be right wing in those countries.
