Of the American public, 40% see themselves as conservative, 40% see themselves as moderate, and 20% see themselves as liberal (25 in a good year). source

This should explain to you why Obama was openly against gay marriage when he was running. It should explain why a woman democratic candidate tries to run as a moderate even when her voting record is left of bernie sanders. Everything you hate about liberals is because they have a more accurate understanding of the electorate than the average progressive.
