You must have willful illiteracy or strong delusion: liberal is often written in opposition to the right or as synonymous with the left.

It's pretty clear with Gallup. On leftward expansion of young women, they express the spectrum of political views from liberal to conservative & from left to right as synonymous. The plot of responses to
