  >>> As a very liberal person, I have to say that I am disgusted by cancel culture. Disgusted. > He's not. https://mark-watson.blogspot.com/2016/01/i-will-not-vote-for-hillary-clinton-i.html https://mark-watson.blogspot.com/2016/01/i-will-not-vote-for... Walk me through how that shows that he's not "a very liberal person."

  I mean, you're technically correct in the sense that "liberal" and "leftist" have been erroneously conflated in American politics for some time. So yes, a "liberal" not voting for Clinton would be out of character. A leftist not voting for Clinton, however, seems perfectly reasonable, considering that she is not even remotely leftist. She's a neoliberal, who ran on a neoliberal platform - one that would've made no meaningful effort to advance actual leftism in this country. It would've been, at best, appeasement.

    Yeah, Americans don't get it. The Republican Party in Europe would be a conservative right party while the Democrat Party would be a moderated center-right one with some liberal hints.
