My definition is liberals who lean left and support left causes, but when push comes to shove, they'll usually back the liberal stance (for instance socially left people who live in California of other safe blue states voting Harris over holding her responsible for support of genocide and pulling the party to right )

And that would put you right in the liberal socialist or democrat socialists (still a pretty liberal voting block but basic concepts of liberalism) area lol which is about where from our discussions fits pretty good

Pretty much that. Lenin wrote a lot about it, that yes socially at end of day on some social issues liberals tradionally fall on the right side of history, however economically specially but also in how the liberals and leftists address the addressing of social issues that leftists and liberals agree on, is radically different and that liberals at end of day are agents of the bourgeoisie and will  always act to maintain status quo

it is my understanding that liberals believe reforming the current rules in capitalistic society is the best way forward.  

A leftist does not accept capitalism and believes only revolutionary change (i.e. change government, switch to communism) is the way forward.

It's crazy how blurred/distorted these words have become, I doubt any American would give you a clear answer on what these really "mean".  Colloquially its left = democrat and liberal = choosing things the conservative majority find distasteful.  They are usually lumped together. Communism is a bad word here.
