Liberal can mean economic liberal, or social liberal. Social liberals are basically progressives. Economic liberals are basically anarcho-capitalists.
Combine both and you get a Neo-Liberal. I think that’s what people mean, mealy mouthed supporters of establishment capitalism and good intentions that don’t necessarily go anywhere and are far from changing society in a structural way.
They’ll “vote their way to improvements” as long as the rich can stay rich and corporations can continue to exploit the poor!
“We just need to sit down and dialogue with the far right, I’m sure we have common ground.”
Often they just create a Ratchet Effect that keeps problems going.
