That is a good question. Everyone who answers questions here on answers.com is a volunteer and has some kind of political persuasion, or none at all. I answer Democrats questions and consider myself a conservative Democrat.
You ask a question about a portion of the Democratic party. A caucus perhaps. People who are "left wing" Democrats. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, I think, fits into that description. Persons that President Lyndon Johnson called "Professional Liberals."
What does the left wing resemble? Not much different from all Americans I suspect. Nothing like the 'Socialists' label given by so many haters and chronic complainers; professional complainers, if you will.
Really, when you boil things down, the two parties are not that much different. Witness the bi-partisanship over the recent NSA revelations. The parties as a whole differ only around the edges and the left wing of the Democratic Party is in some part one of those edges.
