But this is not at all how the vast majority of people use the terms. In a time where people can barely communicate as it is, at what point is it harmful to stick to definitions barely anyone still uses in the US?

That just isn't true. People use liberal to mean in support of a liberal party, in this case, democrats.

If someone uses liberal to mean socialist, then they are just incorrect. The ideas are incompatible.
