I like that the acronym is ATACMS and when I say it, it sounds like “Attack 'ems”. Very on point.

There is no Leftist party active in Congress.

So, when you read/hear some USA politician being called “on the left” it should be taken as literally as possible. They are literally standing just to the left of whatever they are being compared to.

So a person who says, “Hey, shouldn’t we all have healthcare that you don’t have to pay out of pocket for?” is to the left of “If you can’t pay, just die.” and will be considered “left”. Even if the person wanting everybody to get healthcare is fully on board with “The Global War On Terrorism.”

Its probably best to view somebody’s opinion/action on an individual issue as being labeled “left” and not the person themself. Even when a person in the USA is describing somebody else in the USA as “of the left.”
