    The Dems contain people on the left and have a handful of them in Congress, but I wouldn’t call them a left wing party who supports the interests of regular people when they are at odds with the interests of the affluent. There is no left wing major party.

      I feel that’s correct but everything is a spectrum. It’s not a binary state. In a world of extremist right and center, the center looks left. Especially since each party is a mix of the spectrum. Each person is a mix of the spectrum made by each issue stance.

      That said, I feel like you are then correct, there is no “everyone else”. There is little chance of getting that option in our politics any time soon. We need widespread non-FPTP voting. We need more minority party representation.
