I am a leftist. I'm telling you they call everyone liberals. They even call Trump a liberal.
Liberals are moderate conservatives, a.k.a. Establishment Democrats. And then you have the GOP, which consists of extreme right Fascists, so far right they're practically the antisis of liberal. There is no dominant centrist or leftist party in the United States. The closest we have in office are AOC and Bernie, and even they're just barely to the left of center in my eyes.
Ranked choice voting won't solve everything, but it's a step in the right direction. It's worth giving it a chance.
Leftists often call them liberal because many of them use the term to define one who believes in Liberalism.
"Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law."
Thus anyone who is liberal believes in the right to private property. MAGA strongly believes in such. No leftist believes in such. Thus in their use, a leftist cannot be a liberal.
It's just a different usage of a term based on cultural differences.
What kind of brainrot is this?
