I had to look her up, but Lisa Cusack is Chairwoman of the California Republican 44th Assembly District. Anybody who sends her a text message like this is going to expect it will be posted publicly.
Also, we here in the West use "liberal" as a synonym for "left wing", but in the rest of the English speaking world, "liberal" is closer to "libertarian", and basically refers to a "conservative". This is why I suggest that we stop using the word "liberal" to describe left wing people. But regardless, her "liberal friend" may think they can say they're liberal without technically lying here, even though they're conservative... but it's probably just a lie. There probably is no friend at all.
I seriously doubt Lisa Cusack has any actual left wing friends, but if she does, none of them would send her a text message that could only be used to help her push Republican propaganda.
Liberal is nothing like libertarian except they are both capitalist (ignoring that libertarian and anarchist were synonymous). Liberal refers to social spending to prevent people from complaining about the inequality of capital ownership while conservative means winner-take all with little to no bread and circuses and a hierarchical worldview.
