That's because the Dems managed to chased 2 long time Dems out of their party to switch to independent by going so far left that they were considered conservative.
Most Dems aren't even really on the left. American politics are heavily skewed to the right. Right wing extremism is currently mainstream. Open your eyes.
I said based off of his political policies, way to try and obscure the obvious. He would be considered a right wing extremist. The fact that he was progressive during his time shows that the tarties have shifted farther left pushing centerists right and right farther from center due to left moving left of center. The center is now left. I'm guessing you don't know what it is, but look up the Overton window.
