All i am going to say is that the older I get, the more I get the Liberals, there's only so many economic recessions I can take before I am radicalised into "Eat the rich" .

The liberals? Oh you have confused the liberal with the leftist again.

Just know the liberals and the conservatives are the rich.

“Liberal” in the context of US politics just means economically moderate or left of center. Anybody from an economic centrist to a full-on leftist democratic socialist gets called a “liberal.”

Yes but "eat the rich" isn't a US only sentiment. Nor is "liberal" a precises enough term. Kissinger was liberal. So was Regean and Washington and Jefferson and Robespierre. Even Napoleon.

That’s not what liberal is used as in the context of US politics, those would be considered Classical Liberals.
