  to be fair, the word “liberal” has lost its meaning in the US, because there no differentiation between economic liberalism and social liberalism. the guy in the meme would be a classic socialist in europe. we do have liberals here too, but they are the economic liberalism-type and more in line with the US-Republicans in economic questions, like tax cuts for the rich and businesses.

    There’s a huge differentiation between social and economic liberalism! Liberals in the US means almost exclusively social liberalism. Liberal in the us is progressivism.

    Economic liberalism is a Republican position, not a Democrat one.

      You’ve made it clear that you believe words do not have meanings, and are just vibes, yes.

  You’re confusing liberalism with social progressivism, and leftism with social programs.

  At the end of the day, Capitalism is right wing, Socialism is left.

  Just throw workers owning the means of production on there and we’ve got a stew real progressive.
