Daily reminder that the Democrats are a center/center-left party, not liberal.

They are liberal. Liberals are right-wing.

You think liberals are left wing because one of your liberal parties is holding marginalized people hostage in a 2-party state.

No, both parties in the US are liberal. They're both neoliberal specifically, by definition.

little bit further to the right, really - they're center-right until they're inconvenienced, at which point they start moving rightward

Are you sure you know what liberal means? Market economics, privatization, capitalism good, all that stuff?

Reminding yourself daily of a thing that is demonstrably false seems bad. The amount of negative descriptors that can be applied to doing that is a bottomless void without end.
