Do you really believe in the neutered policies of liberals like Pelosi and Joe "slightly less conservative than Republicans " Biden? If so, why?

i still don't understand when or how "liberal" and "leftist" started referring to different things

on the political spectrum i've always been familiar with, there is the left and the right, and on the left is liberals and on the right is conservatives

The US left isnt true left; liberals, which constitute the majority of US 'left' politicians, are still more conservative than the actual left in countries with a wider political spectrum. Liberals dont support policies such as universal health care, for example, whereas the true left does support such policies

As one myself, always believed in bootstrapping

I make a comfy six figure job using only the public education system that enabled me to compete for college scholarships then medical school

The entire experience made me think people asking for entitlements are just whiners that don't want to try. If your current job sucks, that's the result of bad decisions you've made, not bad government.

I consider myself one but it won't stop me from making fun of idiot SJW's. I marched in Occupy and saw the movement decline because of identity politics and the privilege Olympics. Give me some radical class analysis please.

Most of the country does. Don't confuse politicians who are bought and paid for with what people believe.

But then again actually researching ans understanding things makes it impossible to be a leftist.

Thats a U.S. centric thing. In the rest of the world the Democratic Party is seen as center-right economically and maybe center socially. For example, the conservative party in the UK does not find abortion remotely controversial, and thinks its abhorrent that the Republicans here would even attempt to restrict it.

Another way of putting it is basically that Democrats/liberals believe in capitalism and imperialism, while leftists are strongly against those things. This is not to say that every liberal in America is against everything to do with socialism or socialistic policies like universal healthcare, but the Party by and large is.

Oh no i get that progressive policies are actually widely favored by the people on both sides, its just that politicians obfuscate that fact with partisan politics for their own gain. The media on both sides do it too

they even treat liberals as the enemy though. I kind of hope we get 4 parties out of this and the far right, the far left, the liberals, and the classic conservatives. would be more interesting than the two party system we have now.
