Did you ever consider that people don't always fully align with any of these terms but feel compelled to use them anyway because it would take too long to explain their entire worldview repeatedly?

    WHAT IS THIS NUANCE???

    Only on Lemmy do I see such petty debate over liberal vs leftist vs progressive.

    In the US, where we really only have two parties, are democrats really just centrists? Yes. But on a spectrum where you only have one dimension, the above terms all generally mean the same thing.
