Considering yourself a liberal isn't inherently a bad thing. The problem isn't you, it's with all the other liberals that this accurately describes. The odds are, you still have the same values, still care about people, and want to see real progress. The rest of the liberals in the Democratic Party....well, that's a different story. You're likely no longer really a liberal, but not because you've abandoned your principles...but because far too many who use that label, never really had any to begin with. We're not attacking you when we post things like this, or call out "liberals"...You likely just need to adopt a new label, or you have to work extra hard to try and make the word mean what you feel it should...but so many who call themselves a "liberal" are doing all they can to thwart your efforts. Sometimes, it's just best to ditch the label and show who you are through your words and your actions.
(Hell, I'm just a generic leftist as far as I'm concerned...not sure about anything beyond that tbh)
