Helps if it is prefixed with "social" or "economic".

Meaningless from both the far-right and the far-left. The far left uses "liberal" as a scare-word and calls themselves "leftists," and the far-right thinks anyone who isn't a fucking Nazi is a "leftist"/communist/socialist/"globalist"/what-have-you

It's always been a weak af insult.

"You're a Nazi"
"Yeah well you're a leftist"
"Lol ok well you're still a fucking Nazi."

The left/right distinction dates back to the French national assembly way back in the 1800s.

i mean why did rebel put leftist in quotation marks, as if to imply self described ones are not, in fact, leftists at all.

Are you asking why they call themselves that or why I used quotation marks? If the latter, simply because I was distinguishing between two terms.

Back to the original point: the conflation of "all politics to the left of John Kasich" with "leftism" is hugely disappointing and more should be done to note that "hey, there are significant differences here. Barack Obama is not a leftist. Noam Chomsky is not a liberal."
