Okay, so you’re saying that liberal politicians use the term differently, but they’re wrong, because “the US” doesn’t use the term differently? You’re claiming that everyday Americans say “liberal” and are referring to the economic sense of the word?

Why do you care if the US uses the term “liberal” differently?

Heh “need to done violence”

Answer the question. Why?

Then why are you trying to push this idea that “liberal” = “fiscally liberal”? Not only is it not true, it’s not even useful, as we have words like “capitalist” to describe the similar economic thinking between Democrats and Republicans (and I’m using similar very loosely here, it’s only similar when compared to something like socialism).

Sure, depending on how you define chaser, but it’s not applicable here.

Your lips to God’s ears

You are a liar and you keep spreading this bullshit. Both sides in the US support economic liberalism. The US exclusively uses the term “liberal” to refer to social issues.

You can argue about whether that’s a good definition or not, but you CANNOT argue about whether that’s actually how it’s used in the US, both in everyday usage and political journalism.

You are spreading this shit because you like to intentionally blur the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Hey that was me back when I had a kbin account. I’m the account in the screenshot.

That was a direct response to someone asking if I would have sex with a trans man. I got accused of being a chaser for saying “sure, I guess, pre-transition” (the first part) and being a transphobe for saying “but I’m not sexually attracted to dicks” (the second part). Note those two accusations are more or less mutually exclusive, but it doesn’t matter because they’re both deeply, incredibly stupid accusations. The mods and admins of blahaj pointed out how incredibly stupid the accusations were, and some people didn’t like being called stupid, so they went back to hexbear. And continued to be stupid.

Liberal in the USA means Liberal economically

No, it absolutely does not. You are lying.

California is ridiculous. I’m from San Francisco, was visiting LA and someone asked me where I lived. I pointed to 101 and said, turn left on that road and keep going for 8 hours.

Edit: sorry, “the 101”. When in Rome, etc

Thank Christ. Lemmy has been too prudish for too long.

Yeah, there’s a lot of power posters here. PugJesus is an example from the opposite camp, calling out the anti-Democrat propaganda from the two OP mentioned.

Ozma got banned from politicalmemes recently and it’s 1000% better for it

Liberal in the US means progressive. It’s a term referring to social issues, not economic ones.
