"left seems to be waning"

Is it? The country is divided mostly in an urban vs rural way. Each area is basically aligned the same as it always was. If anything, urban sprawl and transplants are causing more areas to become urbanized and lean left.

It's not even "left", it's Democrats. Most actual leftists are out in the country too scared for their lives to do much public organizing.

Depends on how far left we are talking. Based on the party goals/statements it's typically that Democrats are left and Republicans are right. Obviously there is a spectrum, but that seems to be true in the aggregate and reflected in the types of laws being enacted in the municipalities or states.
