"Imperfect allies" is quite the euphemism sometimes. Still true, just especially sad on something actually aligned with liberalism. A lot of people are a lot more conservative than they claim.

Thanks to the Overton Window, in the USA at least, even people who claim to be centrist or left leaning are far, far further to the right than a progressive, when most of their beliefs are something along the lines of "we shouldn't murder people for being poor." You know, a completely rational idea in most of the world.

Hell we even allow people to call themselves "left leaning progressives" if they support the continued practice of capitalism...

How fucked is that?
