    Most American conservative voters also support some form of social welfare. Something like 70% of Americans support singlepayer healthcare.

        There’s no clear dividing line, it’s a continuous spectrum. Many American liberals look center-right to non-Americans.

          Alright, this is probably gonna go in an endless cycle of “Are they this?” “Well, not necessarily…” that isn’t going to go anywhere. Thanks for trying, have a nice day.

              A positive definition (they are X) rather than a negative definition (they are not necessarily Y)

                I gave you one. “Liberals” support capitalism, but in America specifically “liberal” also implies that they trend toward supporting more safety nets than “conservatives” and being more “left wing on cultural issues,” but neither of those is consistent and it’s a spectrum. The main uniting trait of “liberals” in the world is support for capitalism.
