RE: Social Democracy & Liberal Democracy
I like most of this, but I definitely do not feel that Beto is a Social Democrat - or even that close to one really. He has a more moderate history.

Yeah, Beto is more of a neoliberal, but neoliberal and social democratic ideology do have notable common features.
That's a rather abstract take on the issue. In reality, politics is a dirty business, and whilst it is good to be aware of the theoretical background to it all, in practice, politicians who're posing as social democrats but then go and meander around key issues, as opposed to being strong, unwavering and unmistaken advocates of comprehensive measures, usually do that for a reason, and not the good sort.
