Young women are more liberal than they’ve been in decades. That's according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data.

    Ofc AP doesn’t understand or explain the difference between liberal and leftist.

    Eg.

    • Opposing abortion -> leftist
    • Using debunked economics from the 1700s to serve the rich and screw the poor -> liberal

      I’m sorry, is that a brain fart or did you actually mean to say leftists oppose abortion?

      Liberalism is far more than just the economic liberalism of the 1700s. Most democratic voters are actually liberals and not leftists as well.

      Though since FDR, Liberalism in the U.S. has somewhat lost its meaning and turned into anything left of center.
