    Again ... Lizzie was quoting somebody else. Pete Buttigieg was actually the one who brought up socialism.

    And now the argument is being diverted from what a Liberal is, to who brought up socialism. Perhaps we can get back onto topic.

    I'm not sure what some of that means. Perhaps you could expand a bit more please?

    I think this is much better than the left/right scale as it considers both political and economic positions.

    Try yourselves, it's fun
    For me
    Economic Left/Right: 3.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

    Been awhile since I did this:
    Economic Left/Right: -7.63
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.54

    About right ;-)

    No surprises there - I'm a moderately left leaning, social liberal (not a fan of the term libertarian as to many negative connotations in the current political environment):
    Economic Left/Right: -3.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.54
