Liberalism used to mean what the definition is: a political and moral philosophy based on liberty. Leftism, Progressivism, Collectivism, Marxism are all facets of Authoritarianism where government is the central pivot of all activities… the exact opposite of liberty.
In the past, liberals and conservatives had many shared goals & values but since leftism invaded liberals, it seems the liberals abandoned their principles. Pity.
If they stayed truly Liberal they now either count themselves homeless or have (like me) turned Republican.
Now, if only we could somehow persuade the Authoritarians who count themselves Republican to go ahead and join the Left who also want to use force to cram down their demented dreams on the rest of us.
It is ironic that I’m counted both Conservative and Liberal depending on the context. I am a great fan of the US Constitution which qualifies me as Conservative, but the USC is one of the most, if not _the_ most Liberal political documents ever forged.
But it it fragile. We need to constantly seek to preserve its strengths as well as correct its faults with all the Reason we can muster. And make no mistake, we are human and we do make mistakes. The Direct Election of Senators strikes me as one such mistake. The Framers intended the Senate to moderate the Mob not reinforce it.

If you haven’t heard of the “Nolan chart,” look it up.

The liberals didn’t abandon their principles, the socialists just stole their label after hopelessly befouling “socialist.” Once they befouled “liberal,” they moved to “progressive.”
Leftists seem to believe that you can successfully remove the stigma from a condition by changing its name (moron -> feeble-minded -> retarded -> challenged -> disabled -> special). They never seem to realize that this simply buys them about six months before the new term becomes hopelessly sullied.
It’s a lot like solving the problem of crap on the streets by herding the offenders onto another block every week.
Imagine if they started using the common cold, planter’s warts, herpes, or nose bleeds to bring down the Trump economy? (oops, didn’t mean to give the markets any ideas…)
Guess they felt they couldn’t wait till October to pull this.
“If it saves One Child”. Strange for the Demon Spawn to use that phrase.
“It’s for the Children!” is what they say for every increase in Taxes, New Law and every whittled away piece of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. How many innocent Babies have passed into the trash because of “If it saves One Child and It’s for the Children”?
The problem with the Democrats is that they switched teams and became Neo-Liberals who are all for having the market place rule their lives. Leaving the New Deal behind in so doing. Sanders is a New Deal Democrat who stupidly plays up the word “socialist”. Warren is better, she has it all down and the numbers add up. She is the better candidate but who uses logic to support candidates?
Just look at the anti Wonk anti constitutional “president” today. He cares more about how things look than the spread of Coronavirus COVID19 that he just may have now along with 4 other Republicans. He needs to find out if he does.

Doesn’t matter how many kids you have, demoncraps are bad for them.
Difference between a Liberal, and a Leftist.
None.
Same turd, different name.
Liberal vs Leftist, indeed.

They’re all Marxists. End of story.
TDS – spread on purpose via The Media(D) – has ruined more lives than SARS, Swine Flu, Ebola and Corona put together. Literally.
