Biden is absolutely a liberal.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, constitutional government and privacy rights.

Then why does he label himself progressive and why is he STILL trying to send billions of dollars to continue the slaughter of Palestine?

I'm a life long liberal Democrat.

I dont know where your copy pasta comes from and I'm not clicking on your link.

Liberals are anti-war. Progressives are pro-status quo, which is pro military industrial complex, which is pro Israel slaughtering innocents with weapons and ammunition made by American military contractors.

americans use “liberal” to only mean socially liberal, however liberal describes both economic and social philosophies

economic liberals are all about the free market, social liberals are all about human and civil rights (among many other things)
