Liberals, which dominate the Democratic Party, are essentially just culturally progressive conservatives. They agree with Republicans on 75% of economic issues. Leftists actually see American society through fiscal lens, and seek to improve the material conditions of the working class rather than sit around all day and play identity politics while keeping with the status quo, as liberals tend to do.

You have already established you don't really know what you're talking about when it comes to policy and politics, which makes me wonder where you get your confidence from.
