  Liberal in the USA means Liberal economically, it’s just that economic Liberalism is more progressive than the alternstive, far-right populism.

    No, it absolutely does not. You are lying.

      Yes it does. The Liberals in the US support Liberalism. Calling someone a Liberal means they support Liberalism in the US.

        You are a liar and you keep spreading this bullshit. Both sides in the US support economic liberalism. The US exclusively uses the term “liberal” to refer to social issues.

        You can argue about whether that’s a good definition or not, but you CANNOT argue about whether that’s actually how it’s used in the US, both in everyday usage and political journalism.

        You are spreading this shit because you like to intentionally blur the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
