Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

    In European politics.

    American liberals do not support free markets. They’re advocates of greater regulation amd stronger unions.

      yes, they do. Both* US political parties are neoliberal parties. Regulation of markets is still a free market. Unions do not inherently oppose free markets either.

      * must go back at least 10 years for this to be true for Republicans

        Stop prevaricating.

        More regulation = less free markets. It’s a spectrum, not a light switch. Dems want more restricted markets. Repubs want more free markets.
