there is only so much value in a word, in a name
while the modern day left is further left then liberals that does not mean that liberalism isnt left-leaning
Redefining liberal and left to specific meanings is great and all but how it's generally used is just a more generic X side, vs. Y side
especially if we go from where the terms originated rather then trusting wikipedia
"The modern usage of the political terms left and right comes from the French Revolution of 1789 when supporters of the king stood to the president’s right, and supporters of the revolution to his left.
liberalism is left leaning"

this
the original term is irrelevant as it's modern usage is important in context
We don't use words the same way anymore, they take on new meanings and change over time
no people are obfuscating its original meaning for political gain
thats what you arent getting
How it is used is more important than how you want to define it
it's literally irrelevant
this is why liberals like sargon are called fascists. because the left is attempting to move the Overton window so that liberals are the new right
Sure, that is what they are doing
thus cutting conservatives out of the dialogue
The terms get redefined in practice
the original meaning and definition
the core tenants of liberalism do not change
the original meaning only applies to the French and thus anything outside of the French wouldn't be left or right
its just obfuscation
nobody uses the original meaning
Of course, the foundation of the modern day left originated from liberalism. A more open minded ideology gave birth to the monstrosity of modern day progressivism which is suppose to be "open minded".
It changes over time
The terms change over time is my point
see now that was a comment that i agree with @Aldomuz
it's literally just a pointless descriptor, we could call them bungaloos for all we want
So the bungaloos are 77% socialist
no people are attempting to change the definition for their gain
but those who actually know the roots of these terms and human history
we see right through it.
And the majority of the Bungaloos are in support of socialist ideas, and the majority of their candidates are now socialist
Even the reasonable one's like Andrew Yang are completely fucking nuts
They lack an ounce of reason or common sense, so far go in to their own ideology they believe they can will things in to relaity
Free 12,000 dollars for everyone, it's insane
That's the most reasonable peopel on the left
its not useless if we go back to what it really means. its only made useless by those trying to warp its meaning and definition
I mean, the Bungaloos
but like i said those who know the historical context and etc
see through that
