If it makes you feel any better it’s not even close to being a US-only thing… that which is fundamentally oligarchic is fundamentally anti-democratic by design - yet you will find people who believe that they live in a (so-called) “liberal democracy” all over the world.

I wasn’t casting aspersions, just lamenting the communication rift caused by how American politics uses the word liberal.

This always makes me feel better.
