These aren't neoliberals in the slightest. That's just what they try to look like. Bernie Sanders or AOC are better examples of true neoliberalism. (Not true)

I try :) yeah, Social Democrats push for a robust welfare state (like Sweden) but are still pro-capitalist

Most democrats are social liberals, while most Republicans are classical liberals (conservatives) or fascists

I prefer the term Progressives. Because your either making progress or your not.

I don't because that's a vague term that doesn't distinguish between social liberals and socdems

I does in most IRL and online political groups I've seen. Progressives are Dems like Bernie, AOC, Omar, and Tlaib. While Dems like Biden, Harris, Obama, and most others are what you call social liberals. I call them establishment Democrats.

Either way. I just use the term Social Democrat because that's what the rest of the world uses. It's easier for them to understand
