My understanding of what a liberal is is just the first paragraph on Wikipedia and I assume that's not exactly what you think of as a liberal? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

I'm not sure what I am politically, I've never given it much thought. I just vote based on who's available to vote for and what they support specifically.

On here we use global definition of liberal. This mean that they support private property, capitalism, current world system, and the bourgeois rule. They can want anything from the strict austerity to the social democracy. Liberalism is the official ideology of the United States Constitution. Every politician in the United States is a liberal. Two party system do not allow anyone who is not a liberal to run.
