How Europe did actually vote
Sauce Considering that Harris would more or less match renew Europe + Green + S&D, and that Trump would match the huge blue block at the right, I don’t think we’re doing much better than our American friends
EPP is centrist, not far right, and they work together with greens + socialists + liberals. The national parties that are members of the EPP, that I know, are the old christian democrat parties and in terms of the USA Overton window, they would be to the left of USA democratic party. The far right only has about a quarter of MEPs.
"Combined, the three political groups on the right have 187 MEPs, just over a quarter of the total, but they are viewed as unlikely to form a coherent and united bloc. Following the election, leaders of the EPP, S&D and Renew Europe groups stressed their commitment to working together as a pro-EU “democratic alliance”. The S&D and Renew Europe, together with the Greens/EFA, also stressed that they rejected cooperation with groups on the right, including the ECR. "

I am pretty sure USA Democrates are closer to EU moderate right, they are not the left as we consider it in EU (except for Bernie Sanders maybe). So you should probably include those too.
To be honest most of even Bernie’s proposals are things that Europeans fought for decades ago. He’s basically a social democrat.
That would be because he lives in a right wing hellscape and that’s his compromise position.
Yes, social democrat is where left starts in EU, I think.
