The OOP could be equating corporate Democrats and Republicans (bringing Nazism). Then leaving the other side as actual leftists wanting to bring healthcare

Unfortunately there's Democrat hardliners and neo-liberals who will throw a helluva fit when you point this out to them. They don't understand that neo-liberalism and yes liberalism are ideologies in themselves, and trend more conservative than progressives.

That's the problem with not having a leftist party, just a left-leaning one.

You're being generous calling them left-leaning.
