Your citation says social democracy is a leftist ideology, that encompasses a significant number of American liberals no? I don’t really think anyone would say Bernie is right-leaning, for example?
My source says it’s a center-left ideology. I would identify Bernie as center-left, based on that. But calling him a leftist would be inaccurate (unless we also call him a centrist). We could call him a center-leftist, but that feels clunky to me.
