Your argument here boils down to "The world sees all American politics as right wing and you dont want to be percieved as right wing now do you so you better convert." That is not a strong argument based in reason.
My argument is that the Democrat party largely supports conservative political ideas, the dictionary definition outlining it as:
(in a political context) favoring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.
The Democrats adhere strongly to free enterprise, private ownership, other austerity politics. They're less socially traditional than most Republicans in the US, though still very socially traditional in isolated topics, things like largely still holding to Christian values and standards, the monogamous model of marriage as a pillar of society, rugged individualism and American exceptionalism, etc. etc. I'm not saying these are necessarily bad things (though as a polyamorous person, it would be nice to enshrine both of my partners legally as I would want but that's a niche digression), I'm just saying, it's not so simple as "American politics are called all right wing" as though it's an arbitrary decision on the part of leftists. Leftists point out Democrats are centrist and even right wing on many issues because they are: because their political actions align with a conservative agenda.
If you cant tell the difference between a democrat and a libertarian
To be perfectly blunt I think I could articulate that difference better than you, based on the way you've spoken so far on the subject.
and think american republicans are fascist
I wouldn't say they are fascists, but I would say the conservative movement as it exists in the US is highly amenable to fascism, if it enables their political project. And given their last president quite famously got within shouting distance of an actual coup, I don't think that's an unreasonable position to hold. Now whether you want to draw a line between "fascist" and "largely okay with fascism if it does the right harms to the right people" or not is up to you personally.
Much if the initial man effort put down to start the democratic united states was by a bunch of illiterate farmers going to battle, sometimes to establish their own government. Sometimes just out of anger charging at town hall with pitchforks.
Not saying I agree with a physical act in consideration, but the idea that any physical defiance of your government is fascist is denying the history of this country. Think of it like an ultra riot.

So does every mainstream political party in every country in the world (except for North Korea. Even supposedly "Communist" countries like China accept that you aren't going to be a prosperous nation without them these days). Nobody is a Bolshevik any more -- everyone wants a market economy and private property. What makes the parties in other countries different than the US is that they generally support more social programs and a heavier tax burden on the rich to support it.
