Quick clarification of terms, since I think you are using them incorrectly. In general, liberals, progressives and leftists ideologies are categorized as such.

  • Liberals want to make capitalism fair.
  • Progressives want to regulate it.
  • Leftists want to move beyond it.

In the current US political environment the three terms are best used to describe the following groups.

  • Liberals - Clinton, Obama, Biden, Schummer, etc. What we in Lemmy tend to describe as the "Democratic establishment".
  • Progressives - AOC, Bernie, Mamdami, etc. The Democratic socialists that want to fix and reform the current system.
  • Leftists - Almost always anti-capitalism. Want to replace the system if possible.
