Liberalish describes someone whose political views lean liberal but aren't fully committed to the whole package — they agree with some progressive positions while holding back on others, or they identify loosely with the left without the full ideological investment. The '-ish' suffix does real work here, softening the label into something more tentative and self-aware. It's the kind of term someone might use to describe themselves when they don't want to be pigeonholed, or to describe a centrist friend whose politics are hard to pin down.
She called herself liberalish — pro-choice and pro-environment, but skeptical of some economic policies on the left.
