Yeah. Bernie Sanders himself is not a Democrat, but most of his supporters are Democrats who are socialist, not liberal.
Then you’ve got your Joe Manchin types, who basically agree with Republicans but don’t like the racism etc. Blue Dogs.
Then you’ve got the split between “progressives” and “centrists”. Biden being more of a centrist, AOC being more of a progressive. “Liberal” means different things to different people, but most Democrats would say progressives are liberals while centrists aren’t.
Fuck the GOP. They’re doing everything you criticise the Dems for, except worse. That’s what “progress” means. Not that everything is instantly perfect. That it’s less bad.
“Liberal” in America is literally synonymous with “progressive”. The entire point of the party is progress.
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml here’s another one
No, the entire point of liberalism is continued private property rights.
*Economic liberalism.
Liberalism.
Ah, so you’re not just unaware that the different terms cause confusion
You are maliciously spreading that confusion
My fault for giving you the benefit of the doubt, I don’t normally do that.
Nah, you just lie ✌️
What are you even talking about? There are numerous Democrat politicians who don’t label themselves as progressive.
I didn’t say “Democrat” at all in my comment.
All progressives are Democrats, not all Democrats are progressives. The Democratic party is a coalition.
Does that mean there are Democrats who aren’t liberal?

Lol which party is pushing for progress?
The one throwing kids in jail for protesting genocide?
The one funnelling money to Israel hand over foot?
The one that let Republicans stack the judiciary while crying that it was “unfair” but not actually working to stop it?
Fuck the D’s bunch of cowards.
Yes.

That is absolutely NOT what progress means, you fucking dipshit.
prog·ress noun /ˈpräɡrəs/
Moving slightly slower on enshittofication than the other guys does not meet that definition.
Improvement, actual improvement, is what is required by progress.
I’m not asking for everything to instantly be better. I’m demanding that things stop slowly getting worse.
It’s getting less bad over time too, dumbass.
