    Based on the definition of liberal vs lefty by Prager in the interview linked below, where do you see yourself?

    You won't find many liberals admitting such. For some reason, they mostly consider themselves "middle road" which is mind boggling. A conservative will almost always admit being conservative. When you ask a liberal, they mostly say "I'm moderate" or "I'm middle road" and in some cases they deny it altogether, as if it is a bad word.

    It's about the interview. It is based on Prager's view on the marked differences between liberal vs left ideology.

    So far, not one single person has been able to comment or contradict Prager's assertions.

    I had always lumped liberalism with leftism together, but I was wrong. Liberals need to be told the truth..

    Interesting. Let's see how many answer the poll. There are clear differences between both ideologies.
     
  6. Had this debate many years ago in this forum. I am liberal and was Democrat until the party allowed the radical left to hijack it. Today I am more independent leaning, still socially liberal, not religious at all, don't trust corporate America as far as I could throw them, believe in financial regulations as they have proven themselves criminally corrupt, know with certainty that neither party wants to fix immigration problems, know with certainty that neither party gives a shit about the working class, know with certainty that any government that will send people off by the tens of thousands to die for a lie is capable of doing anything corrupt or illegal.

    ok---I actually lump Liberal, Lefty and 50/50 all together as Left. I don't believe there is such thing as a moderate. Moderates are actually Leftists.

    I know liberals that are horrified by what the left is doing. Liberals, according to Prager, are not too different from conservatives. I believe this to be true. Like Capt Obvious noted, liberalism has been hijacked by the left.

    Then they need to vote for Trump and show that they are not far from conservatives. What you are talking about people who call themselves classic liberals. However, if they end up voting for Democrats, they are part of the problem.

    These sentiments would put you in The Leftist category unfortunately.
