How dare you claim the mantle of liberal does not include Conservatives.

Liberal:

a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

“classical liberals emphasized the right of the individual to make decisions, even if the results dismayed their neighbors or injured themselves”

There are no greater defenders of individual rights than Conservatives. Leftist collectivists would put the state above the individual.

Who better to balance the Authoritarian Progressives than Liberal Conservatives.

That the Republican party has been coopted by Authoritarian Trumpists means that True Conservatives no longer have a party.

Trumpist have revealed that the majority of the Republican Party was not Conservatives but racist, sexist, homophobic, patriarchal and fundamentalist evangelical Christians.

Oh, and the mainstream Democrat party has revealed that it is not progressive but instead is Neo-Liberal. Strong supporters of the united Neo-liberal/conservative Plutocratic Oligarchic Aristocratic Elite.

The thinking voter has no candidate worthy of their vote after the primaries.
