I think most Dems are libs who lean right (or straight up conservatives like Biden) but the ones considered extremists could maybe be libs that lean left. I would call Bernie Sanders a centrist, is that kind of a left leaning lib?
Sure, they are. That doesn't make you left-leaning, it means they're right-wing and you're centrist-leaning. Left and right wing politics are an absolute measure, not relative. Reagan isn't left-wing compared to Mussolini, they're both far-right politicians, it's just an (arguable) difference in terms of how far to the right.

Being a centrist doesn't make you left leaning, it makes you a centrist.
Yes but if you are liberal who is also a "centrist" would most other liberals be to the right of you if they aren't "centrists"!
