Definitions
A portmanteau of 'millennial' and 'liberal,' used informally — sometimes affectionately, sometimes dismissively — to describe a politically progressive millennial. The term packs a double stereotype into six syllables: the avocado-toast-eating generational identity of millennials combined with left-leaning political views. Depending on who's saying it, a milliberal is either someone fighting for a better world or someone who just needs to get a real job and stop complaining.
His dad called him a milliberal every time he mentioned student loan forgiveness at the dinner table.

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.
