You're moving the bar so as to make yourself look correct. The CPUSA is far left by any standards. The Green party is far left, but not as far left as CPUSA. They are both United States political parties. Therefore when you say the Democrats are "far left" you're wrong, even when you stick to your original benchmark of the realm of United States political parties.
