Why do Americans use liberal to mean left?
- buboard 7y agoThey use it liberally
- shard972 7y agoBecause liberalism is more associated with the left these days.
- nostromo 7y agoBecause Democrats were the liberal party a very long time ago, in the 1800s and early 1900s. Americans continue to use Democrats and liberal interchangeably, even though Democrats are no longer liberal on most issues.
