Maybe I need to read more on where the term leftisn comes from. I was under the impression it referred to any left wing voter.

"Leftism" is a philosophy, namely that collectivist solutions are the correct answer to all societal problems. It is the purview of a "leftist" or someone who adheres to communist (or otherwise generally some type of Marxist or post-Marxist) thought.

I definitely understand the confusion if you didn't know that.
