What is the difference between Democrats the "left" in the US? To me they seem synonymous.

Also, what does "left" in Europe look like? Because I'm surprised to see you say that Democrats in the US "would be barely center in Europe".

There are "left" parties in the US too, like Gloria La Riva's PSL.

The Democrats push for what can at best be termed social democracy, even though real social democracies in Europe would still be to their left after they fulfilled most of their campaign promises. Left right and centre are kind of reductive categorizations but social democracy is left of centre.
