No, this is inaccurate. We are fine with paying for the things that we can afford. It's just that not everyone can afford those things. It is not about not wanting to pay, it is about equality.

That's not a true liberal, that's a socialist.

I mostly agree with you. The reason why I don't fully agree with you is because (I am assuming here) you vote Democrat. The Democrat party only ran one liberal in 2020, the rest were Socialists or virtual Socialists, meaning they agree with everything the Socialists believe in and they don't know it. That one candidate was Tulsi Gabbards. The only Democrat candidate who had a brain.

So as long as you keep voting Democrat then you are pushing Socialism on us even if you are a liberal and not a Socialist.

I'm European.

American Liberal = European Socialist
American Republican = European Liberal
