(19,926 posts)You are conflating who the liberals are now. If people elect a woman president it might be considered liberal only in the sense that they are electing a woman for the first time. However, it would really be more feminist than liberal when you consider that the person they are electing is not a liberal.
The person being elected could be a female right wing nutbag. What if Palin were elected president? Would that be liberal? Would that make her liberal?
I don't know why you are so determined to find a way to legitimately describe Hillary as a liberal. She simply is not a liberal. Being a liberal means something, it is absolutely not in the eye of the beholder. If you believe that then you are giving power to the right wing has making liberal a dirty word and using it to make Obama and every Dem less desirable to their followers.
I don't even know what to say about the body of your post. Your use of the word liberal in that sentence makes no sense to what we are discussing. Yes, she's a ball buster/clit crusher, but that makes her strong and not afraid of conflict. It does not make her liberal.
