She doesn't mean liberal in the economic sense, she means liberal/progressive in social sense.
Well, I'm not personally interested in listening to either.
Who are you interested in listening to?
Probably one of those douchebags that will let fascism creep in because they refuse to take any action until a magical third party that agrees with them on EVERYTHING appears.
Certain socialists, mostly.
I’d say democratic socialism falls under the general progressive/liberal banner in American political parlance, although admittedly that’s just because our system is designed to funnel most every view into one of the two buckets.
The only democratic socialist in mainstream politics I still listen to is Bernie Sanders. Most every other demsoc doesn't have anything to say that I find all that worth listening to. There are some demsocs in the media or online who I still listen to, but they are relatively few and far between.
And there’s not going to be until people who want to vote more left actually vote to elect the leftmost candidate they can.
Apparently if you go too far left, you wrap around to being poorly educated again and cannot get past simply ideas like the no true scotsman fallacy.
Being able to declare one single person as the true scotsman is our clue that they mistake for their observance.
