    The problem is that there isn’t a left to vote for

    In the current American political spectrum, there isn’t really anything that most other countries would recognize as “left”.

    But given the current binary reality, whatever the Democrats are is viewed as left of the GOP rightwingnuts.

      Please reread my comment. The Democrats are less right wing than the Republicans, yes, but voting for them signals more liberalism, not more leftism.
