It's because they're told they are by conservatives and there's no pushback from the left, not where it matters anyway. When Democrats run for office and they're accused of being liberal they typically deny it, which gives credence to the theory that liberalism is evil. The result is that when a conservative runs against a liberal the conservative starts with a big plus. It wouldn't be like this if more Democratic candidates would be proud of being liberals and say that they're liberals and that they're damn proud of it. Remember during the Republican primary they were all claiming to be more conservative than the other? That's what Democrats need to do with being liberal
Well, that was nice wishful thinking on your part and I'm sure it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately for your fantasy, the exact same thing happens on the right. Right wing candidates must trend towards the center in order to win general elections. I know how you leftists love your victimhood, but sorry to inform you that there's no conspiracy to portray liberalism as evil. This is just a moderate nation where politicians who appear too far to either side of center have trouble getting elected on the national stage.

It's nothing but posting thoughts which haven't been well thought through.
This is known as "rambling on" and it usually doesn't make much sense.
I've never met a liberal who was ashamed of letting everyone know it!
