15. The American Left are the left wing of the Democratic Party. As a distinct group, they are better known as "progresives"

I am limited by the DU rules in how far I can take the distinction between mainstream Democrats and Progressives. All I can say is that the Progressives themselves make a distinction between the two, routinely referring to mainstream Democrats as "establishment", among other things.

I am curious who in Israel is getting a lot of support from American Democrats vs. American Progressives, and how this support manifests itself. For instance, how do Israel's Democrats, including Meretz, or Yesh Atid benefit politically from their support?
