I’m certainly not a “Liberal.” They are not the same thing.
Libs in the USA are right-of-center. Examples in my mind are Pelosi or Schumer. The ones who kowtow to business interests and pay lip service to social injustices while doing nothing in their personal life or legislative maneuvering to support it.
And while I agree the bidirectional “left” or “right” thing isn’t ideal, and the Compass method is only slightly better, I am far better described as Leftist than I am anything else. I fall more inline with the Scandinavian countries’ left than that of the USA’s.
