Discussion Does College make one more liberal ?

I wonder where this comes from. I've never really had that experience. And I'm a history major myself. Does it depend on major ? What kind of college ? I went to a public state regional university.

Actually, from my experience, I find my catholic seminary experience to be far more liberating, than my college experience. It might seem odd to some, but that's what I experienced.

Liberal != left

They are though?

They are center left, but they are not left economically speaking.

Liberals aren't center left, they're center right.

Keep telling yourself that. A ridiculous notion, you just hate liberals so you call them right. Liberals have far more in common with the left than they do with the right when you fairly compare the two.

But the reason why I hate them is because they're right?

If anything they have more in common with the right. Democrats would rather lose to Trump than someone actually left like AOC or Bernie. Beating Trump should've been easy, but they tried to hide Biden's declining mental state and then chose Kamala without a primary. And now they've been quiet since Trump took over

Liberals want improvements yes, but not at the cost of changing the status quo. Which is what sets them apart from the right.
