Liberalism vs. Conservatism is not the real battle here. The real battles are the issues that face everyday Americans everyday. Money, healthcare, taxes, racism, and the basic rights being tested everyday. The overarching theme in liberal ideas in the United States is the idea of change.

The changing attitudes of modern-day liberals and varying ideas makes for a difficult journey to a goal. With no common
