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

    US Dems and mainstream liberals are definitely right to far right by (mainland) European standards.

    The political window in the US is very different from the European ones.

      Yeah. The US is a shit show. At least the Overton window now includes antizionism, small victories!

      I do think a lot of liberals are further right than they realize. But I don’t think it’s accurate to call them far right unless you solely are considering their economic ideology (which is reductionist), or are lumping in people who would probably be more accurately described with a better label. Or your perspective is skewed from being far enough left.
