Alt-left
I've reverted your changes on this page and restored the redirect to Regressive left. While I don't believe that redirect fully captures the flavor that the term alt-left has in today's politics, I believe it is closer than the definition you provided, sourced as it was to a single article that actually uses the term alt-left to describe a centrist faction of the American Conservative movement. To properly capture today's meaning of alt-left, we would need place in the context of, and in contrast to, the relatively new alt-right. Alt-left has taken on a pejorative connotation and is often used by those on the far right (my most common sighting of the term is in the writings and speech of Sean Hannity) to denigrate the liberals with whom they disagree.
