US Politics, Liberal s Progressive 

@kavbojka in the US the two terms are splitting. liberal is the main Democratic Party, which has decided that neoliberal fascism is ok as long as gay people are allowed in and the racism is slightly less overt than the current US administration, but anything better than that is too much.

Progressives are generally for things like defunding police, abolishing student debt, nationalised healthcare, decriminalising drug addiction and making rich people actually pay taxes, which the liberals, or at least the ones represented by the Democratic Party, generally consider dangerously radical ideas.

Things are changing quickly, but that is the general split.
