There is such a thing as “too far left” in US politics. You could say that voting for anyone who will continue America’s support for genocide is unacceptable, even if the alternative is violent naked fascism. You could say that we should arm ourselves against the Oathkeepers and attack them physically if they come to our city. You could say that all police agencies are an open force for evil and should be abolished. Those are real things that people think, that right or wrong, I think someone could say are “far left” if a US presidential candidate started saying them.
School lunch and unions are not “far left”. Honestly, it might be good for the base, but I think all they’re accomplishing by saying those are “far left” is making “left” sound good to people.
