Is is fair for Marxists and other leftists to accuse liberals of being "rightwing" what or why not?

Leftist here. Seems like a lot of people have a misunderstanding as to why leftists call the democratic party right wing.

The democratic party is based in capitalism. Liberals either complain, or make excuses for their beloved politicians getting into office and not getting anything they promised during their campaign done. The reason this happens with politicians is because they lobby, they have their own capitalistic interests and affairs and when they get into office, even when the party has the majority (as they do now) all the campaign promises crumble. Why is this??

Also many liberal politicians are huge imperialists. And liberals also fall into this. If you were saying “SOS Cuba” this summer I see that as a right-wing position. It’s imperialism.

But as for liberals themselves, we agree on many social positions. Many liberals believe in leftist economic ideals as well but don’t feel comfortable with leftism.

I don’t focus on liberals as individuals, more so the democratic party politicians pretending they truly care about working class struggles.
