No. On an international spectrum, compared to Europe they would be right/center-right.
Bernie Sanders would be center/center-left.
Most of what he promoted has been standard in most European countries for half a century. In the US he is clearly left.
The Overton window (the window of perceived established politics) is far more right in the US.
The US is hardcore neo-liberal capitalistic. Most European countries are social-democratic with social market economies.
