to my understanding the liberal democracy ideology has existed as and ethical statement in a capitalist society in other words the liberal democratic ideology complements the capitalist one. take the right as an example it has (in American politics) use conspiracy theories to promote a reactionary emotional way of thinking that blocks rational thinking and also commonly promote the interests of the bourgeoisie class which go against standard ethics as such being a leftist individual just comes a standard way of thinking.

I like to think most people are leftists because they care about other people and don't want to see unnecessary suffering.

I think most people are leftist because of the promise of utopia. It's no doubt attractive and popular to most younger people in todays world. I think a better question isn't why are most people leftist. But more so, why isn't everyone leftist? There are a plethora of answers to that question, but I think if posed to a truly diverse audience (which raddle is not), the latter question would help more.
