- virgildotcodes 5mo agoYeah for sure, speaking purely on the American common framing of big L Liberals as akin to social liberals rather than classical/economic liberals.
- overfeed 5mo agoLeft/Right alignment is relative, and the American political center is...where it is, and has been drifting rightward since Bill Clinton's "Third Way".
