Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

“Liberal” in America is literally synonymous with “progressive”. The entire point of the party is progress.

What are you even talking about? There are numerous Democrat politicians who don't label themselves as progressive.

I didn't say "Democrat" at all in my comment.

All progressives are Democrats, not all Democrats are progressives. The Democratic party is a coalition.

Does that mean there are Democrats who aren't liberal?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah. Bernie Sanders himself is not a Democrat, but most of his supporters are Democrats who are socialist, not liberal.

Then you've got your Joe Manchin types, who basically agree with Republicans but don't like the racism etc. Blue Dogs.

Then you've got the split between "progressives" and "centrists". Biden being more of a centrist, AOC being more of a progressive. "Liberal" means different things to different people, but most Democrats would say progressives are liberals while centrists aren't.
