Liberals are center-right. Anti-regulation, anti-guardrails, anti-equity, anti-accountability, etc. Like conservatives, they are defined by all the things they are against. Mamdani is thankfully not liberal, which is precisely why he has voters excited while liberals and conservatives are having meltdowns.
I really don’t. Words do have meanings. If you use the wrong words people are going to assume you are talking about the things you are actually saying because they have no way of knowing what’s in your head.
Just ask my wife if she knows what I mean when I ask if she knows where “that doohickey” is. And that’s a fair bit better than a stranger on the internet talking about a “screwdriver” when they really meant “band saw.”
Edit: Also, Lemmy users are almost always on the same page when it comes to the word “liberal.” Even tankies agree on that one.
Liberal is culturally interchangable the term “progressive”. Intellectually the “progress” inevitably leads to socialism. This guy is someone who is unashamedly taking that next step. I suppose we agree that he’s being intellectually and spiritually honest in doing so. Most of the time the socialism/communism talk is simply used to entice the masses and drum up votes. He seems earnest in that from what I know.

You’re just playing word games. You know what I mean.
