OK maybe if the Democratic Party and all liberal media institutions count as "The Left," then you can say they have societal power. This is a crazy statement because, as I cited, these people being in power never leads to any leftist reforms and is mainly just more of the same pro-capital cronyism as when Republicans are in charge. There is essentially no daylight between the parties on economic issues of substance. Instead they pretend to differentiate by adopting increasingly radical social policies. It won't be /good/ exactly when President DeSantos signs the Freedom To Learn Act requiring all schoolchildren to carry sidearms, but it is inevitable when "the left" (your definition) fight on this ground instead of on economic issues.
