It does. Literally the president of the United States as a prime example.

See, based on what you mean by liberal, I don't know whether that means "the current potus is a dem" or "of course because everyone is a liberal there"

everyone is a liberal there

Do you mean everyone in the US is a liberal? No I don't believe that nor did I imply it. I only mentioned the president.

From further up the thread

A liberal is someone who:

Upholds the modern nation state and is thus against monarchy (against whom the first liberals rebelled against)

Upholds capitalism and market economies, and with it property rights

Upholds electoral parliamentary systems of governance

Usually believes in some version of the social contract or similar theory from which the legitimacy of the nation state and capitalism is derived.

This describes the bulk of the Democrat and Republican parties. US politics doesn't have a left-wing as it is understood in the rest of the world, our center is between two right-wing ideologies.
