Actually, it is easier to be a liberal because you can ignore reality and create your own reality as well as your own language

Conservatives Give More to Charity than Liberals?

Conservatives, on average, give about 30% more to charitable causes than those on the Left.

Now tell us what a woman is again.

Much of the charitable giving difference is attributable to religious giving ("tithing" if you will), and Leftists believe in their hearts that THEY are "god," so financially supporting an organization that believes otherwise is not likely.

It's easy to be a Leftist because you can alter the meaning of words to suit your purposes, and make shit up to prove your point.

What is a woman? Who knows? What is "marriage"? Whatever I want it to be. What is a "family"? Same thing. There is THE truth vs. MY truth, and I can make my truth whatever I like.

Truth is simple. Liberalism is complicated.

My one caveat is the current left isn't liberal, it's collectively progressive.

Who claims the left represents Liberalism?

It's about what the positions are called. the modern current left isn't liberal, it's actually the opposite due to it's inability to tolerate opposing views.

Funny, as a liberal I have always spoke of the progressives as left

Until recently even if the left wasn't "classically" liberal it still adhered to freedom of expression and speech. The past few decades have seen a gradual shift toward a more collective view on the rights to speech and expression, which is 100% against the classic liberal view of the individual having the right to their own opinions and thoughts.

Actually, Leftists sit around like lazy slobs trying to convince others, and themselves, to elect politicians who will force them, and the rest of us, to give more money to government on the premise that the money will go to help the poor. Then everyone tries to evade the taxes come tax time.

Then once the government gets all that money they end up giving about 9 cents on the dollar to those in need, if that.

True. Liberals believe in personal freedom and rights, like freedom of speech on Twitter, but end up fully supporting the Left who takes them all away and says nothing to defend others.

I can't really blame them for being scared of the Left. They are all a bunch of violent thugs after all.

Freedom on speech on Twitter?

A true Liberal supports the owners of a social media platform being able to do what they seem fit

Not all Democrats are the same. The left in the House under Dem control fought with Pelosi. They lost. Yet, the liberals under Pelosi, kept the House in order

They are all on the left, just by degree.

So, are people to the left of Jim Jordan considered the left by that logic? Or can the left only be applied to a party affiliation

Left is left, right is right. It's when you start using qualifiers like "extreme" or "mainstream" that you can get into arguments.

A conservative democrat is still a leftist these days.
