bleeding-heart liberal

A person with very strong liberal political beliefs who shows overwhelming and often ostentatious displays of sympathy or concern for the well-being of others, especially for those perceived as victims. He only voted for the tax increase because he's a bleeding-heart liberal. He really believes all of that extra money is going to help the homeless. These bleeding-heart liberals care more about giving handouts than rewarding citizens who work hard. If these bleeding-heart liberals really wanted to help people, they'd stop tweeting and take action to create good-paying jobs!
