“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

      In North America, they call leftists liberals & don’t split hairs like Europe & Latin America.

      In Europe and Latin America, liberalism means a moderate form of classical liberalism and includes both conservative liberalism (centre-right liberalism) and social liberalism (centre-left liberalism). In North America, liberalism almost exclusively refers to social liberalism.

      People in the US get seriously confused that the Liberal party in the other countries (eg, Australia) isn’t liberal.

        Literally not talking about them in anyway that designating the difference matters. Clearly speaking of the left leaning folks in America.

        Also politics aren’t real. They’re made up. The definition of a liberal has and will continue to change.

      LMFAO how is that your take away?

      “The worst thing for a (liberal/socialist/leftist/progressive) is another (aforementioned word here)”

      That’s the famous quote. Progress dies because everyone nitpicks it to deal. Obama wasn’t perfect therefore he is Hitler, that is what people think of this as.
