@@danmieseler9351Exactly, thanks for recognizing who is on the right side of history bud, it's very rare to see a reich wingers these days who admits it.
I'm proud to be a liberal too. And I am more liberal than most. I'm not disappointing myself by becoming a hateful, selfish, judgemental human. I have standards for myself and I stand by them!
100%. These MAGA folks who spew so much hate and BS are joyless and soulless. Plain miserable for at least a decade. Waiting for a non-existent savior. It’s no way to live. What a waste of energy.
Notice how the definition of "liberal" opens your world and increases your knowledge, whereas the definition of "conservative" leaves you knee-deep in the sludge of your prejudices. I'm glad I'm liberal.
The truth is, liberal or conservative, we all are Americans. I am a proud citizen who happens to be liberal in most things, conservative minded in others, but in the end we all of like minds and good will must decide to band together to fight the TRUMUSK attempt at tyranny and send Musk packing back to Paypal - and show the ultra-right that we can overtake them and win. And it CAN BE DONE. Thanks Vic! Nice sweatshirt!
Boy you are having a hard time admitting to be a Liberal. Be proud it is ok to say you are a liberal. trumphumpers are not even conservatives. The GOP is not an conservatives party anymore
Hell yeah, I'm a liberal! My in-laws gave me crap when I said I was a liberal and I just replied with "thank you. I'd like to think I'm open minded and ready to learn new things" They said that wasn't what they meant. So when I asked them what they did mean, they couldn't explain it. Everything they said it was was exactly what they were...close minded and resistant to any and all change.
I'm a hybrid. I'm a conservative in my own life. I'm a liberal when it comes to others having choices in their lives, different from mine. And I vote accordingly. Example - I'm personally against abortion BUT voted against banning it, because I don't vote my agenda, I vote for what I consider best for the state/ country. Thus I consider myself a thinking moderate. I consider all sides, not just my own. I wish more people did that. What's right for me may not be what's right for everyone else.. I'm not extreme. Extremism leads to the inability to consider anyone else's ideas..you can only hear your own voice. That's a dangerous stand to take. And nothing positive comes from it. Nothing gets accomplished. Men like Trump get elected.
Vic, I always enjoy your videos and the views behind you and try to guess where you're standing. Are those the Spanish Peaks in the distance? Another proud Colorado liberal and Bronco fan.
“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” , Galbraith.
That's a favorite quote of mine. Another good one: "conservatism consists of just one abiding principle, to whit: there must be an outgroup whom the law binds but does not protect, alongside an ingroup whom the law protects but does not bind". Frank Wilhoit
Amen, brother! This brings to mind a scene from the movie "Lincoln."(Daniel Day Lewis/Sally Field) Abraham and Mary Lincoln are having, shall we say, a very intense conversation and Abe says,(paraphrasing) "why can't you for once take the liberal and not the selfish point of view?" That scene stuck with me.
One of the biggest problems with our political processes is that it's all tribal and we treat it like a sports contest. I hate sports. Actually, that's probably inaccurate because what I really hate is the innate tribalism built into people's lizard brains that causes them to view nearly everything like a sports contest.
I introduce myself with, “I’m a liberal.” When folks (MAGA folks) respond with , “So you’re WOKE then!” I’m aware of myself and those others surrounding me, that’s what woke was originally defined as. I don’t intend to argue but we are off to something! Just being me.
I did that same search a few months ago. It's like Nixon's Southern Strategy taking hold flipped a lot more internal things into the "on" position as well as flipping the Republican Party platform stance to get the Southern votes. Aside from the social assistance programs pretty everything defining a Liberal used to be the staunch Conservative platform.
That has been me forever Now 77 and more liberal than ever. 🎉 Celebrate 🎉 how can anyone not embrace those virtues? How did we let this happen? I've stood my ground. Thank you Vic for standing yours and reading that.. straight outta the definition bible! 😮😊
I have a liberal idea. 💡 Let's encourage President Biden to provide pardons for Mixed-Status American Families. 🙏🙏🙏 These pardons would be for civil infractions and would help protect these American Families from deportations and/or possible family separations.
Thank you for reading those definitions…liberal in my house growing up was not a good word. I was teasingly called a ‘bleeding heart liberal’. Meaning that I wanted to take my family’s hard earned money and “liberally “ spread it around to others who don’t deserve it. Those definitions are wonderful and I am proud to aspire to them💙🇺🇸
One of the best sayings of John Wayne was "I never tell someone what they should do". Yet he identified as a Republican. Be nice if all politicians had to campaign with only printed words, but a limited amount of words.
Reagan has a lot answer for. First time we ever heard the words; Trickle Down, was his administration. One of the worst recessions - 1982 Thanks Vic 🇺🇸 God Be With Us 🙏
All day everyday. Was recently asked at my job " So, you're a liberal?" And i responded "Yes, very much so". I guess they thought i was going to respond differently being from South Florida.
I am proud to be liberal. I will vote blue every time.
Exactly !! 100% Truth.. Fully onboard with being a Liberal. Thanks Vic!
Now you know that you’re the good guys and we’re the bad guys. Even the dictionary says so! It’s like, a fact.

My sentiments exactly, show me a so called conservative who isn't receiving the benefits of a liberal policy !!!!!!
The denigration of the word "liberal" began with Karl Rove and Lee Atwater. Atwater refuted his statements just before he died.
Liberal here!! 👍👍👍💙💙💙
I’m a proud liberal too. I am for all those things and more.
Right on brother man👍
You rock my friend!! I'm right there with you
I’m a liberal and will always be a liberal and like you Vic I’m proud to be a liberal

Heritage Foundation had Reagan's ear. I thought most were until trumpettes came along. Liberal and woke two great words. !!.

Absolutely Vic! Proud to be a liberal who looks out for my community.

Liberal all day all the way.

I am more of a progressive than a liberal! But I stand firm with liberals!
Right Vic! I'm a PROUD, free thinking liberal. Something every American should be: free thinking meaning think for your self!

Proud liberal from Minnesota! Good statement, Vic!
I’m 72 years old and happy to say I’m a proud, lifelong “Liberal”.
triple thumps up. Right as in not right wing. Right as in correct. i sure am a liberal as defined by the OED too.
Yes yes! Thx for this important reminder!! Im proudly liberal along with you
Orwell showed the political manipulation of thought by the careful degradation of language.
"On Politics and Language"and 1984...
Internationally a "Liberal" is Center-Right.
And that's where the US Dem party is.
Reagan has a lot answer for.
First time we ever heard the words; Trickle Down, was his administration.

I am a liberal and proud of it too 😃 always been and always will be!
Damn straight, I'm a liberal and I'm woke. You inspire me every day, Vic. Good day 💙

Old tree-hugging liberal here. Always have been and always will be proudly
Proud to be a liberal too. Will stand proud for my fellow liberals.
As far as im concerned, being called a liberal is one helluva compliment. 💙
Sounds like a compliment to me.I like to be called Woke too .But I prefer Awake.Eyes open, paying attention to what’s happening in the world💕
Something to strive for - I told those who asked for my life phylosophy that I am a bloody liberal. Liberty is worth resisting for.
