"The idea that the US Democrat party is “far-left” is hilarious from here in Europe."
Just to add to this:
Right-wingers who fantasize about Seattle or Portland being "far-left" really need to visit and see that capitalism is alive and well there (thriving, actually), private property has not been abolished, the workers don't own the means of production, and massive socioeconomic inequality still exists.
None of these would be true if Seattle or Portland were really "far-left".

What societies today have workers own the means of production, or where private property is abolished? N Korea? Venezuela? Cuba? Seems pretty strawman
1. Left-right is a completely different axis to authoritarian-liberty. I’ve known both an anarcho-communist and an anarcho-capitalist.
2. The idea that the US Democrat party is “far-left” is hilarious from here in Europe.

The ELI5 answer is “political competence”. These are things that would take at least a degree module to understand fully, not a comment thread.
