        Words have meaning. People and their movements may realign, but this does not negate historical fact. The entire premise is wrong. Liberalism IS definitionally the left.

          Liberalism has been co-opted and is in turn trying to co-opt the entire left. Modern liberalism is just oligarchy wearing liberalism’s skin.

            THANK YOU! There’s been a strong push as of late to make liberal mean left when it’s still conservative. Until you realize that majority of ills and problems in the USA society is because of run away capitalism and it needs to be rid of you’ll not make it too far left.
