Poll: When you use the unqualified terms “liberal” in a political conversation, what do you usually mean?
oh it really does in context of US politics. non-center left has no political offices but increasing cultural influence and is really actually trending towards Maoism at the moment. non-center right has some representation in the Republican party but is a minority.

Yeah, no, I'd consider the default republican position far right in any respectable country (i.e. not the US!) The Dems are also rather right-wing. Bernie Sanders may be the only centrist in actual office. Well, the only well-known one...

I agree completely. That is an accurate assessment by international standards. American politics is wackadoodle. When I say the Republicans were "center-right" 15 years ago I mean that they had not yet completed their gerrymander lockdown of congress.

it's not a 2 party system though. we have a single party with two factions. the party is corporatist, militarist, imperialist, monetarist (they really run wild with this one), and consumerist. as you say Sanders is the only mainstream famous politician who isn't in the party

used to be that all politics was mostly centrist but that has changed very rapidly in the last 10 years.
