A confusing term. All the left leaning terms have been corrupted by the MSM and the uni-party system. I like to say neo-con/neo-liberal, pretty much both the same, to identify the left and right. There aren't any real far left/old school liberalism/pro-worker in the democratic party, as much as the uni-party and MSM will tell you there is. They are now mostly independents. The neo-liberals would like you to believe AOC, Bernie and hand full of others are their progressive "left libs" but they are not. They are neo-liberals. Anyone telling you to vote for the neo-liberal candidate....is a straight up neo-liberal despite whatever game face they are pretending to play.
