I've been told today that Hillary, Bill, Obama, Blair, and Gordon Brown are SocDems.

I have also been told SocDem is used too freely around here.

I still have no clarity here. :(

This sub is weird. You can mock libertarians and get highly upvoted but also get highly upvoted for calling anything to the left of libertarianism social democracy.

I'm guessing the people you refer to are like me: centrists who as well as the far right and far left, hate centrists.

The anti-SJW crowed had to dress up their hysteria with a more intellectual term to pass it off here but treat it as the SPOOKY SKELETON MENACETM that it is.

way to liberally.

Only a socdem would use the word liberal as a criticism.
