INteresting thread personal I think the issue matters more than some meta-aspect whether you're centrist or leftist. Raising the minimum wage and supporting SSM are both "leftist", but do you think these two issue gain support from the same voters? The voter segment may overlap sometimes, but it's not the same.
As I see it, the democrats pushing for more left issue, do it on areas which are primary focus on social issue, like minority rights. These doesn't necessary mean anything good for White bluecollar workers, they don't gain any benefit with a immigration reform or affirmative action, in fact the former directly hurt them (by increasing the supply of low skilled workers), while the other indirectly hurt them (by using tax money on other groups).
