Op, are you in the US?

In the US, the choices for voting are Republican and Democrat.

Which of these parties is "liberal?"

The argument being made when non conservatives dislike liberals is when the liberals in question align with the Ds, because the Ds have every interest in pushing vaguely progressive policies during elections and never actually follow through in office.

Remember student loans? Still out there Remember universal healthcare? Still gotta pay for insurance Remember tax reform? Still paying higher rates than people who can't conceivably spend all of their money.

The primary goal of the Dems when in power is to maintain power. Fuck those guys. Not quite as hard as Republicans, but it stands.

Signed, Not a fucking tankie

Do you know what the word 'liberal' actually means

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (20 children)

Open-minded, permissive, tolerant

Don't know why you're being downvoted.

Liberal literally means free. As in "If it doesn't harm me, you're allowed to do it". So yes, openminded, permissive, tolerant.

Don't know why a lot of the US-Americans had to twist the meaning of it.

Because in politics, liberal means something else entirely. It's an ideology defined by support for capitalism.

It means you support capitalism, hence why "liberalization of the economy" means selling off public utilities, land, housing, and resources.
