You cannot compare the party systems in our two countries. They are not defined the same way.

They would be a close approximation to Labour. Unlike Britain, our two party system means that the parties have to accept a broader range of issues inside them. Some American Democrats would be Greens, Socialists or even Communists in the British system but those parties have almost zero chance for representation in America so they join the large party and try to work their agendas into the platform. Essentially, the party coalition is built before the election rather than after to try and get a majority.

No, they're more like the (modern) Conservatives.
There is no left wing party in the US. Both the Democrats and Republicans believe in big business, reducing taxes, cutting public services and reducing help to the poor. Kind of like the Tories (although given the track record of the current "Labour" government, maybe there is some similarity)

Pretty much, soppy left wing/liberals. Unpatriotic dreamers, promoted by the left wing media.
