      If you're as scared of a very moderate form of social democracy as you are of authoritarian ethnic nationalism, you might be a liberal!

      do you actually think this is what "liberal" means by virtually any definition?

      Liberal is a capacious term but this is what Phil Ochs meant by liberalism in his famous song. A more recent example would be the Times comparing Sanders to Trump.

      you can't deny that previous efforts to destroy liberalism in the hopes that that would lead inexorably to the triumph of the left worked out well.

      But this is liberalism trying to beard Sanders as “Trumpian,” not Sanders trying to destroy liberalism.

      is this because of something the NYT said? (not asking rhetorically). are they speaking for liberalism?

      I think it's reasonable to see the New York Times editorial board as an important and telling voice of American liberalism!

          I guess "reasonable" is in the eye of the beholder.

          No, sir! It is ahistorical and—not to be excessively polemical—dopey.

          I as a working class American in a fly over red state often hear my liberal friends all aflutter over the New York Times editorial board.

          You have got to be kidding. You and the American Right Wing. Usually I love you Jeet, but the NYT editorial board has 1) never been "liberal" 2) at most "culture" liberals and very pro-business.

          Only you and conservatives see the NYT as a liberal outlet at this point.
