Based on this, I think this is a regional issue. In the US, liberal means left of center.

Here is an example of regional differences.

Here is a wiki page called Liberalism in The United States that also provides a nice summary in the first section.

I would say Bernie is democratic socialist. I would call myself a social democrat, so slightly to the right of Bernie, but slightly to the left of a liberal. I would also say liberals are to the left of moderates who are to the left of conservatives/neo-liberals who are to the left of fascists.

The US Overton window is way to far to the right though.
