To me, Ezra Klein is a pretty clear example of a left-leaning US political commentator. Not a far-left one, sure, but still one I would firmly expect to show up on the left-leaning side of this list. I know that ratings like this are far from perfect, but the AllSides media bias rating seems to agree (though marked as initial/low confidence): https://www.allsides.com/news-source/ezra-klein
Based on your evaluation, what would be an example of a commentator that leans moderately left (like just left of center) to you?
Someone else already replied, but I personally consider centrism as the whole middle range of the dial, so to speak, and not just the point directly in its “middle.” So if someone is a corporate apologist and they maybe have some socially lefty views but then they regularly bag on actual leftists and espouse “abundance” that’s basically a handout to real estate developers instead of actually addressing wealth inequality—then I consider them a centrist.

Fascism and genocide are directly opposed to leftism.
Hasan maybe. Dude is a capitalist creep but does tend to promote some actual leftism.
Liberal leftism yes but not socicalist and communist leftism.
