Left, Right, Liberal, etc
I personally don’t get so hung up on the definitions. The parties are too complex for a single term. Sort of like asking “what is the one thing driving that behavior?” And the answer is “no”

I'm actually not interested in a definitional argument, but rather I am talking about a specific group of people (american democrats and adjacent) and their relative place on the political spectrum (left to right).
There is a very pink elephant in most of these rooms whose name is "Liberal." Liberal says that it is "left." Conservative also says Liberal is left. Their agreement makes them very comfortable, tho they are wrong. Constantly framing the democrat as "left" has made it feel true, but it is only a feeling.
Search your heart, you know this to be true. Even Carter, the most libbiest of libs, and sanders, the most socialiest of democrats, both tacitly cosign for capitalism, which makes them fucking pigdogs.
