From the author: "The X post was by the podcaster/Obama speechwriter. I guess I drafted too hastily and assumed that there was only one Jon Favreau!" We imagine Pod Save would be better if the actor Favreau produced it.
I would say that classical liberalism is leftist to the extent that libertarianism is leftist, probably less so but certainly no more so.
I don't use the term "liberal" anymore unless it's understood that it's classical liberalism from context, or I qualify it as classical liberal. If I'm talking about leftism I refer to it as progressivism.
I like to say that Prohibition, eugenics, and gun control are some things that are progressive but not liberal.
You know there are two Jon Favreaus, right? The podcaster is not the actor.

I was a little confused by that
I wish we could get rid of the "classical" part of liberal. Take care.
