Yes, they are, because the terms conflate social issues with rights. It is possible to prefer the rule of law (republican) to the rule of the majority/mob (democrat). However, if you care more about social freedom, and the right is occupied with social conservationism, then you might strategically place yourself on the left.
So you will never stop seeing the term liberal misused until we get smarter about separating the "how we rule" and "what we rule about" concerns and other dimensions of politics.
Remember that the left gave us segregation, lynch mobs, and anti-miscegenation laws because the the left does not care about color blindness. The republicans fought against these things because they rule by law, which is color blind (until the left injected race discrimination into the laws). The left might say that they are fighting for minorities because it is a fashion to them at best, or they are running a vote plantation at worst. If you are under the impression that the left will never return to these anti-minority ways, take a look at what Milos Zeman, social democrat, is recommending.
It is helpful to learn how to spot disgust based thinkers and make sure that they are prevented from messing things up for the rest of us. They tend to congregate on the left, but you do see some of them on the right. Disgust based thinkers have no philosophical allegiance to political parties. When they think that they can influence the majority, they go against the rule of law party because the left frees them from the restrictions that republics have on the will of the majority (republics / republicans protect minorities from mobs). The left's style of rule maximizes the tyranny of disgust based thinkers.
You've forgotten Halloween? Or having the wrong haircut?? You aren't allowed to wear anything you want or style your hair to suit you, you have to stay in your fucking ghetto
Lately, seeing people shaming those who speak out against pedophilia and war, by calling them SJW's. That's ridiculous to compare some silly, social justice venture, to our God given right, to protect our children & speak out against crime-against-humanity ruining our fundamental rights....SJW's look at the small (and demented) picture. They don't give, a rats ass that the entire world's falling apart. As long as they have their special privileges and 'rights', the rest of the world could die for all they care.
This is fucking stupid. Social Justice Warriors don't ask what a person's race or gender is. Unlike conservative retards who can't think beyond two choices, they are accepting... oh i get it. That fat broad next to the pile of shit is an ignorant Republican cunt. Makes sense. Good likeness. Republicans, especially the old middle aged 'female' ones do tend to be fat, obnoxious, judgmental, ignorant, and dumping shit all over.
Justice is the slim, beautiful, young liberal woman on the left who is blind to trivial factors like gender, race, sex. I get it, bravo.
I've worked with a group of self identified SJWs on a documentary and they literally used race and sex as deciding factors of who to interview and what footage to include
No! That would be shocking and appalling that SJWs would be hyper-focused on race and gender, not. I bet their responses could pretty much be arrived at by a small worksheet or flow chart, diagramming who's the most privileged to the most marginalized--with morality mapped only in someone's level of marginalization. This is how they arrive at conclusions like a minority can't be racist, for example, because bigotry is a function of power and privilege not beliefs and personal responsibility. Having any power or privilege makes you evil, unless you are using it all to push this narrative, then you get the "honorary Jew" oops I mean "Privilege checked" individual who knows 'zhe' is evil and is in submission to the cause. I took longer to explain this than it is complicated, but they remapped good/evil onto the power/privilege axis and pretend this isn't insane.
The steaming pile of shit behind the progressive fucktard was a dead giveaway. To the left is actual justice and the right is a liberal Social Justice Warrior.

No wonder so many innocent people are executed: Justice is blindfolded. How the hell is she supposed to see who she is swinging her sword at?

Is v/politics some kind of safe space from political cartoons? Or expand on your suggestion, if you would.

I'd prefer for /v/politics to be for more serious discussion but I'm clearly in the minority.

Love the pic. Not sure about the 'What are you wearing' question though. I'd replace it with, 'you're not straight are you?'

Justice needs to be drawn with dollar signs for eyes instead of a blindfold.
