15. No, liberal means, you know, supporting a real liberal candidate.

Anyone can say they are a liberal, but the meaning of the term had degraded significantly over time. More people want to think of themselves as liberal given how crazy the conservatives have gotten. But a lot of those self-identified liberals espouse policies that were solidly republican a few decades ago. They aren't FDR liberals.

For instance, many third wayer's consider themselves liberal. And they are to varying degrees on social issues. Hillary is like that. On economic issues and foreign policy though, she's a conservative. That's the third way.
