I thought left wing meant “left of center”.

Yeah but most liberals are right of center. Even Bernie sanders is just barely left of center, maybe even a true centrist.

Are you taking a global definition of “center”? I think that’s not really a useful metric in the context of American politics.

When talking about American politics, the center is the center of American politics, not the entire world.

well, that is a good point, but what’s represented in the politics rn is right wing ideas. we have only two parties in control. there are plenty of leftists, only none in power

Yeah that makes sense. A lot of the major issues i see, I don't think the left-right wing paradigm really encapsulates.
