      That is all accurate and I don’t disagree with you. But the picture was of an invasion under Bush, not Clinton, so I responded as such.

      The problem that I take is l:

      Also all American politicians of “both” parties are liberals.

      I’m wondering what your definition of Liberal is. Up until like 2020, it was Liberal v Conservative and when I look it up in the dictionary I get “Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.”

      But Liberal on Lemmy appears to be anything to the right of a theoretical Star Trek post scarcity utopia.

        The internationally recognized measure of left-right. Not the uniquely American one that’s skewed all to fuck.

        There is no left at all in American politics. The closest we’ve gotten is Bernie Sanders. He’s a moderate everywhere but here.

        Noe liberal and neo con differences are how you “kiss babies”/comment on social and cultural issues, while electioneering to make the war mongering big bucks from power.
