Many Democratic politicians, such as Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former Vice President Kamala Harris of California, believe that ICE should be reformed rather than abolished. Harris stated that Democrats should “critically re-examine ICE” and “think about starting from scratch” with American immigration policy, while Senator Bernie Sanders stated that Democrats should instead encourage Trump to work with them on “a national program which deals with this serious issue.”
Liberals where the pearl-clutchers.
Sorting political affiliations into liberals/conservatives is a false dichotomy that basically only happens in the US (due to the two party system). There are other political movements, though. Otherwise, Occupy, BLM, Stop Cop City, Defund the police, etc. would be considered liberal movements, even if they oppose liberal (DNC) politicians.
OOP (the person posting the tweet/toot/notlearningtheblueskylingo) is an explicit leftist, so he makes that distinction.
Word of advice: The dictionary is a horrible source of authority when it comes to political discussions. You’re gonna have a bad time using it, since it ignores political and historical context.
Nevertheless: OOP is correct.
The literal definition of Liberal, now and forever, yes.
Have fun never having any fruitful political discussions with that attitude. /s
Here you go

Maybe with the philosophical definition. Not with the political definition, though.
OP means the political definition.
