    The only people who use the term “leftist” are conservatives

    It was the as a pejorative part that was significant to me, not use of the term itself. If someone is calling me a leftist with a sneer - that person is a conservative.

    Because the only Americans who call people “leftist” are using it in a pejorative sense.

    No offense taken, but I did wonder because of your seeming assumption that it would be pejorative. (Also please note I’m not OP)

    because it doesn’t actually define anything in American politics. There is no “leftist” party and there are no “leftist” political groups.

    I disagree that those two things are requirements for leftist to have a meaning. I’m also quite sure we have many leftist political groups, even if they have little political power.
