Democrats started to move farther toward liberalism and socialism some 50 years ago. Since then they have moved farther and farther. The republicans have kept trying to move to the center for those same years. The middle now is very liberal.

That's a good question, Zimbler.

Here are my definitions for 'liberal' and 'conservative':

A 'conservative' is happy with what the country WAS - the Founders' intent, where applicable - and would like to preserve it.

A 'liberal' is unhappy with what the country WAS - again, the intent where it applies - and wants to change it.

These days, Democratic party positions are mostly liberal. But, surprisingly, Republican party positions are mostly liberal too, albeit, of a different bent.

The Republican and Democratic parties are both Progressive.
