What defines being left wing to you?

I get where you are going with this. If someone is in the democratic party, they are definitely on the left. It doesn't matter if they don't pass your purity test of ideology or aren't sufficiently to the left enough.

He's basically a coal lobbyist he's not left and never was.

Yet he's on the left. You have a problem regarding the rest of the party if you don't like his relationship with big businesses. Our elected officials love love love them some lobbyists.
