Je propose la sortie de l'OTAN, organisation inutile qui provoque des tensions un peu partout.Je propose que nous construisions, nous Français, des alliances altermondialistes. Des alliances qui partent de la nécessité de l'intérêt général humain. #MelenchonLyon pic.twitter.com/cQl5aNMLGJ— Jean-Luc Mélenchon (@JLMelenchon) March 6, 2022
Le France Insoumise is like Die Linke. Melenchon is more similar to Corbyn than Bernie, tho the general situation in the US and Europe is still different and that influences things. France has a pretty large left-wing movement, much bigger than in the US in terms of membership and electoral presence. LFI and GDR have about 6% of parliament, and center-left parties also have about another 5%. Idk what the equivalent of that would be in the US, maybe like 2% but mostly just center-left? Left wing parties have something like over 700k members, compared to like 100k in the US between DSA and other parties, tho of course in both actual active membership is much lower.
The US is a single party oligarchy so we don't have any percentage in government. If it was a multiparty democracy we would have literally six people out of five hundred at the national level.

thanks for the info. seems like France has a much more robust left movement than the USA, even if it's still besieged by neoliberalism.
