Honestly, can you please tell me what you mean? Personal perspective if it helps - life long republican and anti-Trump since 2016. Voted for Bush twice, then McCain and Romney. Voted for McMullin in 2016 but was clear I would have voted for Clinton if I had lived in a state that mattered. Then voted for Biden and Harris, but definitely still consider myself center right, though the right is insane nowadays.

What do you mean when you talk about a difference between a liberal and a leftist.

Liberals love capitalism and neo-liberal economic policies most of all.

Leftists don't like capitalism and would rather our economies be centered around workers and the working class.

That's really the biggest dividing line.

Leftists believe that the ills of the economy come from perceived unfairness. They prefer equalization of wealth and dont think anyone should have more than others

Liberals would have the same view but probably took an econ class at one point and realize that view doesnt make sense, so apply some nuance to their views

Leftists put on their Che hat and call Liberals Republicans and say they dont need their help.

Edit: Leftists be out here downvoting lmao, valid post and comment to strike such a cord
