There can't be a "shadow left" anything in the USA because the US, by popular request dragged its systems of leftist organization out into the street and executed them decades ago. When Reagan narc'd on his coworkers for having "communist sympathies" he became such a national brand he got elected in one of the best election outcomes for the right basically ever. That's why the US "left" is reduced to whinging about how democrats don't do socialism (from a position of zero power in the government) and therefore you shouldn't vote for them. They don't seem to notice it has been 50 years of only making the problem worse.
