Warren and Sanders are centrists. Centre-right and centre-left respectively.

Warren labeled a centrist is pretty rich considering she keeps yelling at clouds about corporate greed (her explanation for inflation)

Well it is a bit strange that corporate profits are at record highs and CxO's keep talking about how they are driving increased prices on their investor calls during a time of record inflation.

Leftists are more about dismantling capitalism and legalizing all drugs.

Disliking corporate greed is not a left/right or political position, but a moral one. Wouldn't you say the same about other types of greed?

That’s what centrists tend to say, yes. Compromise between capitalists and workers.

Someone on the left might speak about trade unions, collectivising industry, arming workers, etc.

I'm pretty sure sanders is the most left of all the dems. The rest of them were more center-left. If he's center left, then which dem is the farthest left?

Sanders, maybe AOC. There are no US Democrats further left than that.

You do have far-left organisations in the US, though. There's the CPUSA and the PSL, for example.

Just because electoral politics in a particular country lack one end of the spectrum doesn't mean the spectrum doesn't exist.
