Liberals

In my youth, I often switched sides between conservative and liberal because they both wanted similar things they just had different ways of getting things done. What used to be called liberals were people who wanted free speech, a safety net for the those who fell through the cracks, safe streets even in poor neighborhoods, good paying jobs, good schools, fair taxation, secure borders and voting rights for all. Today the liberals have been taken over by the progressives and the new democratic party stands for individual rights vs group rights, critical race theory, men playing in women's sports gender surgery on minors, segregation, equity, cancel culture, Black lives matter and virtue signaling. Let's hope that the old time liberals regain control and the parties start to talk about the issues that polls say are important to people, the things liberals used to talk about.
