I'm not American I don't know when their elections are. Liberal doesn't mean "Democrat" it means someone who believes in the capitalist "free market" policies and opposes alternate economic systems. In the US all parties are Liberal. This meme isn't even just about Americans, it is more about how westerners in general post on Lemmy about what Russia did in Ukraine versus about what they all did in Iraq.

Part of the Yankee political system is that "election cycles" are so long it's basically always close to one at least. "Election year" describes at least one in every two years.
