12. Why are they separating Democrats from Liberals?

I can kind of see why they would break out republicans and conservatives, because you have people like Rick Wilson who are traditional conservatives, and so, are never Trumpers. But while there are certainly divisions within the Democratic party, and major differences of opinion, the party itself is still quite liberal. Maybe if they had broken out socialists or progressives, it might have made more sense.
