There's a whole subset of actual leftists and progressives that use both tankie and liberal as insults. Like, most of us probably would.
If you use Liberal as an insult you either have no idea what the definition of the word is or you're not left or progressive. Likewise for those who don't use tankie with negative connotation.
People that call themselves liberal typically aren't, hence the ironic insult. It's that simple dude. Everyone I know that's actually liberal calls themselves a leftist or progressive, but never a liberal. The Democratic establishment are called liberals, but generally aren't now are they?
They absolutely are Liberal by definition. The Biden Admin pardoned thousands for nonviolent marijuana offenses, expanded protections to gay marriage, expanded healthcare access, restored the EPA to working condition, and put a pro-immigration leader at the helm of the ICE as well as reimplementing 72 hour holding limitations and criminal only focus.
The party wants to codify Roe V Wade into the constitution, giving bodily autonomy to the people, and they want to remove money from politics and tax the rich.
The DNC are liberals.
1: left marijauna federally illegal
2: gay marriage is about to be overturned by supreme court because they never made it into law
3: fucking what healthcare access
4: didnt abolish ice
And they didnt do any of that when they had the power to in 2021 which is why people with actual values and beliefs and demands for those in power use liberal as a pejorative. And youre just out here proving the rule. You believe in nothing but maintaining the status quo.
Everything short of Utopia is not progressive, I guess. Nobody is left except for you.
