      Yes, I’m quite sure. Democrats in office don’t fully represent their constituents and are not all really liberals. I’m speaking based off my experience with what your cartoon references, which is ‘liberals online’.

        Oh, classic liberalism? Many today equate liberal with neoliberal.

          Neoliberalism is a reboot of Classic Liberalism, from what I understand. I mean social/maybe-medium-economic leftists in the sense the term is used in politics in the US currently. That is, people who oppose racism, colonialism, sexism, are pro-LGBT but are perhaps socialist economically but rarely communist.

            I don’t think they oppose colonialism.

                  Again, are you talking about national Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi or American liberals like AOC?

                    This video by Red Pen might give some insight.

                    Edit: per Red Pen-

                    It’s a quick video on why liberalism is more about private property than “freedom”. Or by extension, how freedom is freedom for property owners under capitalism.
