My head-cannon of the differences

US Socialist (social democrat) - Busses should be free for everyone.

US Liberal - Free bus passes only for poor people

US Right-wing - Let the free-market decide and somehow only allow US citizens to ride busses.

Every time i hear an American say anything about social democrat they are just describing a normal liberal policy.

It's super frustrating to talk about because the word "liberal" without any qualifiers can mean so many different things depending on the context.
