This is why I hate how we Americans have bastardized the word "liberal." Liberal used to mean something concrete. Liberalism was about liberty, including economic liberty and free markets. The most liberal party in the US today is the Libertarian party. Yet in most American's eyes, anything the Democrats do is de facto liberal -- which is not the case. I would describe someone like Elizabeth Warren not as liberal but as a moderate democratic socialist. And progressive... I don't think anyone really knows what that means in a modern context.
