I'm sorry you don't like the common colloquial understanding of the term "Left" but that's what it means to the common person who isn't steeped in political theory. Hence why leftist on here have to constantly point out that "Liberal" doesn't fit their definition of "Left".
No, its not OUR DEFINITION, it is THE DEFINITION, and American liberals keep trying to change it and then wonder why leftists wont vote for their candidates. Also only in the US is that the common term for the left. Because y’all dont want to read or learn anything and then dont understand why people get annoyed with you about it.
Nice try, but not American.
Well, thats fair, theres liberals who purposely don’t understand what words mean in every country, they just mostly seem to come from America. Doesn’t make your attitude any less annoying.
