        But we didn’t and weren’t

        Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…

        so when people think “liberal” they think “left”

        Ouch.

        I guess both have crazy US-only meanings, because well, “liberal” is the core of the right-wing idea.

      All such descriptors are relative; by definition, the Democratic Party is “left.”

        The only left US-politician in the last 200 years is Bernie Sanders. The rest of the democrats are just on the “left” side from every GOP statement. Which doesn’t make the democrats left.

          You say shit like that and expected to be taken seriously? Even if you were conceptually correct, Eugene Debs is right there. Educate yourself, son.

      You may want to familiarize yourself with the term “colloquialism”.

        That doesn’t magically make democrats “the left” (E: and therefore doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t be fans of CNN, being centrists, at best) lmao
