Oh yeah? Pray, which liberally held beliefS are falling by the wayside?
Most of them
The war on drugs?
Working really well on the border!
Bodily integrity?
Not sure what you mean here but I'll take a shot at it. I am sure you will correct men if I miss.

Is this about children being educated in the benefits of genital mutilation? Or is it about the right to murder babies. Or could it be if I want to take a vaccine or not. Please clarify.

The lgbtq culture war?

Where is the war? I believe if 2 men or women want each other that's their right ,but it is not their right to rub it in my face and try to force me to believe as they do on the subject. Nor do they get special rights just because of who they choose to sleep with.
And if that's the case why aren't Republican voting numbers shooting up by the 10s of thousands?
You may be surprised come Election Day! Get back with me then and we can talk about it.

Why is it that, despite "obviously winning the culture war" repubs. Can only manage to get half the voting population to support them?
Now we do have a dilemma here don't we? 50 50 and Both side believe they are right. Only one side is called "right" maybe for reason.
Honestly short of creating a caricature of what all liberals believe in regards to immigration your point is simply incorrect.
I do not know what all rank and file liberals believe but I do know what liberals in current leadership believe and it is destroying this country.

I’m asking if you are asserting that this particular news conference was scripted and that Biden was simply following the script without having to speak extemporaneously.

I guess that was a baseless assertion.

The fact is, Presidents since at least Ronald Reagan have prescribed reports they call on during a press conference.

How do you do a press conference with a teleprompter?
"With prescreened questions.

There is no evidence of the above assertion. None. The implication is Biden was reading answers via the Teleprompter based on prescreened questions.

He was painted as "too extreme" and so is AOC, you're right. But I doubt that very many people who write them off as "too extreme" really understand what their position actually is All they really know is that it is called "socialism" so must be bad. The US will not ever have an actual labor party so long as the Republicans and the Democrats can keep the working class divided over irrelevancies.
Yes, there are lots of different kinds of mixed economies. For myself, I strive for the greatest efficiency in every policy and there are not any one size fits all. It is clear though that the medical system in the USA is broken. Education, Crime, Immigration. Thus, I like that at least Sanders and other radicals try. Libertarians have some great ideas too. Sadly there are very few reforms because the USA just borrows and will not come to reality until the next big reset.
