      I think most Dems are libs who lean right (or straight up conservatives like Biden) but the ones considered extremists could maybe be libs that lean left. I would call Bernie Sanders a centrist, is that kind of a left leaning lib?

          Yes but if you are liberal who is also a "centrist" would most other liberals be to the right of you if they aren't "centrists"!

            Sure, they are. That doesn't make you left-leaning, it means they're right-wing and you're centrist-leaning. Left and right wing politics are an absolute measure, not relative. Reagan isn't left-wing compared to Mussolini, they're both far-right politicians, it's just an (arguable) difference in terms of how far to the right.

      A smug European lib maybe?

      Local libs love to dunk on the US and how much better they are (when a republican is in office, otherwise America is the big friend across the ocean)

        really from what i've seen people are willing to dunk on America all the time. You have to be a right wing freak who thinks the Irish should be dealt with via a repeat of the boer war to actually like the Americans it's very weird to do

        also Joe Biden if you don't step your game up and do some leftist shit the British people who are stupid and evil enough to think there should still be paratroopers in belfast will continue to admire you
