Let's at least be honest about this. Democrat like schumer and jeffries aren't liberal. They are just paid corporate lackeys.

“Liberal” is a useless term because it means something else to everyone.

I meaning the same is true for leftist tho

Not to the same degree. In Europe, liberals are exactly people like the Dem leadership: free market true believers. People that explicitly reject “the social question”.

They consider themselves right wing.

I mean sure.. but the country dealing with the most widespread and rapid rise of fascism due to the complicity of liberals at the moment is the US.

Simultaneously most western european countries while dealing with the same issue to a lesser extent are reigning in a lot of the mechanisms that allowed fascism to take hold.

In light of the above it's likely and logical that OP is aimed at the US, which is obviously not in europe.

And in the US liberals and leftists are synonymous.

It should be par with liberty and they're more aligned with workers, whereas the conservatives are sichophants and lackeys.

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It ”should”? According to whom? In about half the world it means the opposite.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, the southern conservatives (of today) really contorted the place -- for their gain.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And what do you think liberals are?

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 day ago

They're also not Nazis. That's where my bar is now.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago
