    American liberals think they’re left wing. European liberals understand they are basically conservatives.

      Nah man. The democratic party is billed as left wing. Some Americans believe that. A ton of us know that is false and are actually left wing but don’t have great options to vote for.

      When I say I’m a liberal I take it seriously by definition. And I think conservatives do too because when you see someone on social media with a nose ring and dyed hair someone will call “a dumbass liberal” and all I can think of is “yes, they’re using their free will to dye their hair whatever color they want. How is that bad”?
