Sibshops comments on Liberal vs leftist

My head-cannon of the differences

US Socialist (social democrat) - Busses should be free for everyone.

US Liberal - Free bus passes only for poor people

US Right-wing - Let the free-market decide and somehow only allow US citizens to ride busses.

The free market will decide it's actually more profitable to shut down bus service entirely and pivot to helping ICE transport bus loads of "illegal immigrants".

Every time i hear an American say anything about social democrat they are just describing a normal liberal policy.

It's super frustrating to talk about because the word "liberal" without any qualifiers can mean so many different things depending on the context.
