I figured out how to be a liberal by reading this stuff. Hereβs the trick.
1. Make outrageous claims.
2. Donβt attempt to back up said claims with any kind of evidence.
3. Donβt offer any type of specific solutions to anything, only speak in generalities (again without evidence).
4. Label any criticism of your ideas (or lack thereof) as bigoted, racist, fascist, hateful, out of bounds, no fairsies, or do-over.
5. Blame failure to get elected on the things in #4.

A variant of the more common bleeding-heart liberal. A person who claims affiliation to the political left, regardless of party (though they are in highest concentration in the ranks of the Green Party), who is very far on the liberal side. These people are focused on all aspects of liberalism, but place special emphasis on gay/transgendered rights.
Jim is a bleeding heart liberal like his wife Tina, but Blake is a bleeding ass liberal who thinks Tina should be married with a transgendered person named Tiffany.

The myth often promoted by hard core conservatives that they or their views are not treated fairly by the supposedly liberal media. This notion comes from various surveys that show that a typical sampling of journalists are likely to be slightly more liberal than average.
However, using such surveys as proof overlooks the much harsher realities. First, all major media outlets are owned by large corporations that have pro-big business and low regulation preferences. Secondly, where news agencies were once considered a public service they are now seen as having to be self supporting through advertizing. And, advertizers tend to favor a pro-big business point of view. Third, Fox handpicked its staff to be conservative even more so than CNN. Fourth, radio is quite extreme in its conservative to liberal ratio. In 2004 Air America which was the biggest liberal radio network was only broadcast on 14 radio stations compared with 5,000 that carried Bill O'Reilly, Hannity, and Rush Limgaugh and another 4,000 that carried consevative religious programming. In fact, through most of its history MSNBC was conservative like CNN having such hosts as Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson and Imus for its morning program. MSNBC has since become more liberal in primetime with Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow but nevertheless retains a strongly conservative slant with Morning Joe.
The liberal media bias excuse when invoked is similar to justifications used by alcoholics to dismiss their addiction. It could also be viewed as an ad hominem attack to dismiss bad press in much the same fashion as dismissing the members of a particular race, religion, or heritage.
Tom Delay insists he was a victim of liberal media bias.

A high-functioning-liberal, in a candid perspective, refers to an individual who identifies with some of the completely stupid liberal political beliefs and values but does not necessarily conform to stereotypes that some people associate with liberalism, such as having unconventional hair colors, being as fat as Lizzo, or taking 3-5 business days when they state their preferred pronouns.
Emily is considered a high-functioning-liberal. Despite being a staunch advocate for progressive policies and social justice causes, she preferred her natural hair color, maintained a healthy lifestyle, and didn't share her fucking pronouns.
