Modern discourse in the US about democrats and being "liberal" is usually as a pejorative using the term to describe yourself is usually as a reclamation from the political right in the US and less about being an actual "liberal" as in liberal theory.
Is it a reclamation of it from the political right, or is it an affirmation of the tenants of liberal theory?
I would say it's a bit of both depending on the context.
