Introduction
Left-Wing Democratism, also known as Left-Democratism, is a version of American Democratism that strongly favors left-leaning tendencies over right-leaning tendencies. Its modern iteration gained a significant amount of prominence after Senator Bernard "Bernie" Sanders made an unsuccessful grassroots campaign during the 2016 American presidential election. Many of Sanders's ideas have since been adopted and campaigned for by the Justice Democrats, a caucus within the Democratic Party.
Left-Democratism somewhat differs from standard Democratism in how it embraces and advocates for progressive change more staunchly within many parts of the American political system. These progressive stances include a $15/hr federal minimum wage, universal single-payer healthcare, taxing the rich, a robust welfare system, environmentalism, abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and opposition to war. Such stances and the people who have advocated them have been often accused of being socialist, far-left, anti-American, and according to conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, "Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Some have embraced the socialist label, especially "democratic socialist", much like Bernie Sanders in 2016.
