That's why lefitist is usually an unhelpful term. I only hear it used as a self descriptor by libs who want free healthcare and support imperialism.
I use it intentionally all the time to distance myself from liberals, especially when talking to liberals (it's a pointless distinction to conservatives). It breaks liberal brains a little less often lately than it used to, but while the repetitive conversation about the distinction is annoying, it also usually results in some wheels turning a tiny bit inside them.
i outright use the word communist to describe myself to liberals and that usually cuts off any potential liberal camaraderie pretty quickly lol
