In general the "hard" adjective before left and right political terms indicates such strong displeasure with the way things are politically as to favor major changes. No Dem in congress, to my knowledge, at least right now, is in that category. Even Bernie Sanders is not such. He's quite happy with the welfare state and only wants to protect current provisions or provide further extensions of such. Most of those Dems who might appear to some to be "hard" left are only very strong defenders of the welfare state.

It's the Reps who have a large share of "hard" right members in congress, those who want to dismantle the current welfare state and return to the 1930s or prior.
