These are truly pathetic human beings. An outright scourge on humanity at every single level.

How can any normal thinking human being be aligned with this kind of utter bullshite?

This sentence right here explains concisely where this dumb frick stands as a mindless Leftist.

“Liberalism protects individuals equally under law; Leftist models often prioritize group outcomes, which can conflict with individual-rights frameworks.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what has happened to the Democrat Party.
The radical fringe Left has hijacked their party and ruined it.

BTW, there is a distinct difference between a liberal and a Leftist……

“Liberalism (in the modern Western sense) is a political philosophy rooted in:
• individual rights
• free speech
• rule of law
• democratic institutions
• regulated capitalism/market economy
• gradual reform within existing systems

Leftism (or “the Left” in ideological terms) generally refers to ideologies that:
• prioritize collective or group-based equality over individual autonomy
• are more critical of capitalism (sometimes seeking to replace it)
• favor structural/systemic transformation rather than incremental reform
• may view liberal institutions as insufficient or inherently unjust

Concise articulation options

Option 1 — clean, neutral

Liberalism seeks to reform and improve existing democratic and capitalist systems; Leftism often seeks to fundamentally transform or replace them.

Option 2 — slightly more explanatory

Liberals generally support individual rights, free markets with regulation, and gradual reform within democratic institutions, while Leftists tend to emphasize structural inequality, collective outcomes, and more sweeping changes to economic and social systems.

Option 3 — shortest possible

A liberal typically wants to improve the current system; a Leftist often believes the system itself must be fundamentally changed.

Option 4 — academic framing

Liberalism is rooted in Enlightenment principles of individual liberty and constitutional democracy, whereas Leftism prioritizes egalitarian redistribution and systemic restructuring, often extending beyond classical liberal frameworks.

Why confusion exists

In U.S. media and everyday speech, “liberal” is often used as a catch-all for anyone left of center, which obscures the philosophical difference. In political theory and in much of Europe, the distinction is clearer and widely recognized.”
