Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, constitutional government and privacy rights.
Then why does he label himself progressive and why is he STILL trying to send billions of dollars to continue the slaughter of Palestine?
I'm a life long liberal Democrat.
I dont know where your copy pasta comes from and I'm not clicking on your link.
Liberals are anti-war. Progressives are pro-status quo, which is pro military industrial complex, which is pro Israel slaughtering innocents with weapons and ammunition made by American military contractors.
The new use of the term stems from when Hilary, in a primary debate, refused to identify as liberal (being a life long staunch conservative until she was stuck on her liberal hubby's coat tails), and instead insisted that she was a progressive.
She lost the election to Obama.
When it was time for Progressive-Democrat Hilary to take the office from Liberal-Democrat Obama, she lost to Liberal-Recently-Democrat Sanders... then the DNC disagreed and cast a "revote" to put up Progressive-Democrat Hilary anyway.
She lost the election to Trump.
In the biggest slow pitch in history, America "anyone else"-ed itself into Progressive-Biden, who has spent 4 years jerking off Republicans into a frenzy (oh sorry, reacharounding... er... reaching across the aisle) and funding genocide. Like you'd expect if you listened to Hilary about what a modern Progressive is.
I don’t have anything to add to this conversation but I just want to say you’ve done a great job at reporting news while remaining civil DarkGamer. I’ve never seen you get heated or take an all or nothing stance on an issue and honestly it’s so refreshing to see. You’re proof that people can debate things without resorting to shit slinging and name calling. Keep up the good work 👍
americans use “liberal” to only mean socially liberal, however liberal describes both economic and social philosophies
