As a Transfem, it's because conservatives suck (granted I despise all forms of liberalism).

Also why the hell is liberalism considered "left-wing" its center right at most.

Political education in the US and many of the countries that hold these polls is awful. I'd trust a middle-schooler from Cuba, Vietnam, or China more than an ivy-league-educated polysci graduate when it comes to political awareness.

The people who process these data have limited vocabulary or need to speak to those who do.

Generally, a supporter of the political philosophy liberalism. Liberals may be politically left or right but tend to be centrist.

Liberalism supports capitalism, nothing about it is left wing. Hell even Social Liberalism isn't left wing.

It sounds like you're thinking of Libertarianism which is a subset of liberalism, but they are distinct.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.

"private property"

Yeah, not left wing.

One thing not left wing and it's all right wing? Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Liberalism supports capitalism and private property, thats not left wing. Leftism isnt "when government does stuff", its worker owned economies and true progress (no unions dont count as a worker owned economy). There are centrist ideologies which aren't strictly speaking left or right like Social Democracy and Georgism but Liberalism isn't in that category.

Did you just say conservatism is a form of liberalism?

[-] kittenzrulz123 2 points 2 months ago

In the United States the Republicans follow a form of Liberalism, Libertarians a form of Classical Liberalism, and Democrats a form a Neoliberalism.

Political scales are socioculturally calibrated. There’s a center of mass, and we don’t get to decide what is left of that center.

Maybe some day when more than 1% of the public are anarchists liberalism will move closer to the center. I dream.
