Name something more iconic than leftists telling other leftists they're doing it wrong.
Liberals aren’t leftists.
Edit: to clarify, this is from the Wikipedia entry on left-wing politics:
So some classify liberals as center-left, but center leftists aren’t a thing, and calling them just leftists would be inaccurate.
Your citation says social democracy is a leftist ideology, that encompasses a significant number of American liberals no? I don't really think anyone would say Bernie is right-leaning, for example?
My source says it’s a center-left ideology. I would identify Bernie as center-left, based on that. But calling him a leftist would be inaccurate (unless we also call him a centrist). We could call him a center-leftist, but that feels clunky to me.
Liberals calling criticism on right wing policies "leftie infighting".
