Some would say yes. Most with half a brain cell would say:

  1. No.
  2. He's not a liberal.
  3. In a two party FPTP system, you have to work within existing parties. That's part of the design so they can control candidates easier.

At this point, any political label is worse than useless.

Plenty would argue that Mamdani is a 'liberal' because he's a Democrat.

If I call myself a 'Socialist' some MAGat will say I love National Socialist Hitler and/or Soviet Socialist Stalin.

If I say "tax the billionaires" I force them to deal with the actual issue.

Doesn't matter what you call yourself fascists are going to call you things anyway. Probably should not concern yourself so much with what they think. The only thing they're good for is decorating the eaves of gas stations.
