    “Liberal” without either putting “Social” or “Economic” in front of it, is a meaningless term.

      It’s not a meaningless term for the people who use it as a pejorative. For them, it encompasses everything they hate, however nebulous that set of things may be.

        Nah, for me it’s meaning is a very specific group of right wingers. I also hate every other type of right winger too, so it’s only encompassing one portion of my hate.

          Hate towards social liberals by lefties seems like a really successful astroturf perpetrated by the right.

          Two groups who should very much be allies are not and it feels like it’s by design
