Being left of center is not being a "leftist."
Leftists are commies. That's why this guy is arguing that liberalism is right-wing. Anything that isn't communism is right-wing to him.
The real reason there are no leftists in US politics is that outside of a few small internet circles, there are vanishingly few leftists in America.
Wait I didnt say right wing 😡
Maybe I need to read more on where the term leftisn comes from. I was under the impression it referred to any left wing voter.
"Leftism" is a philosophy, namely that collectivist solutions are the correct answer to all societal problems. It is the purview of a "leftist" or someone who adheres to communist (or otherwise generally some type of Marxist or post-Marxist) thought.
I definitely understand the confusion if you didn't know that.
