      Biden is absolutely a liberal.

      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.

            Cutting military spending is not anti-war.

            Cutting military spending is a clever deal to keep the wars going AND fund Healthcare.

            Progressives are pro-war, and that isn’t liberal.

            Liberals traditionally are Democrat and are increasingly disenfranchised.

            Jesus, are you 12?

            Give me that urban dictionary link that tells me what a liberal Democrat is. Fuck.

          Can’t learn if you don’t click, random stranger. I linked to the wikipedia article on liberalism, what that “copypasta” was cited from.

          Clearly it’s the definitions that are wrong, lol.

            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

          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.

          — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

          economic liberals are all about the free market, social liberals are all about human and civil rights (among many other things)
