Who are some leftists in power (or likely to be in power) who are as comparably awful as the current PotUS ?

Besides Biden and Harris having some of the worst draw in any presidential election, check out the candidates for California's gubernatorial election. They're tripping over each other, trying to show that they can all be more scandalous than the current governor.

		They weren't really "leftists", though.

DSA for example. They are increasing their influence, for example they have several elected members on the LA Board of Supervisors, not to mention the mayor of the most important US city. They are absolutely dedicated to wrecking the place and they are doing a great job of it in LA at least. That's the direction I see the Democrats going, somewhat in response to Trump, which is bad all around.
