      He means people who can hear ‘‘the US is a democracy’’ without shitting their pants.

          OP doesn’t seem to care to answer this question, so other people are trying to fill in answers as best they can.

          I like mozz’s answer. The Hard Left is an amorphous concept that depends on the individual and their opinion in general. For some of us, they are the most progressive end of the left-right axis, motivated by working to protect the most disadvantaged in society. Many of these look at Project 2025 and the Trump administration of 2017 through 2020 and come to the conclusion that their priorities are best served with Biden in office and Trump on the sidelines, but quite a few get blinded by the Gaza situation and think that somehow letting Trump burn it all down will help them politically. Unfortunately, with how divided American society is, it won’t take many people voting third party or staying home, especially in Swing States, to swing the election Trump’s way.

          Of course, there are people who think that the Hard Left is anyone left of Atilla the Hun, or at least anyone left of the individual in question. OP peaced out so we’re left speculating on them, but I suspect from their wording, the Hard Left is anyone left of themselves. And thus, the OP is being clued in that the Hard Left is NOT blindly voting like Biden like the Hard Right is blindly voting for Trump. Maybe it’ll be an eye-opening experience. Sorry, I can’t wave a magic wand and make OP answer this, though. That would be nice.
