yes, that is correct. the number of left-wingers in the US is quite small in comparison. I think this is largely because of the US having a relatively high standard of living compared to most of the rest of the world. that's starting to change now though as its stage of capitalism advances, and there are more people developing class consciousness

I feel like people in the U.S. might lean a little bit more left than even they themselves realize. It's just that the left in the U.S. is politically underrepresented and most people can't really perceive politics outside of the boundaries of our two-party system, in large part thanks to corporate Dems and their donors drowning out more progressive politicians and making them politically unviable.

But you talk to a lot of Democrat voters and realize they're at least a little bit more left-leaning than the Democrat Party. With several people outright calling them the lesser of two evils.
