Well, someone else said it means libertarian…. People shouldn’t use shorthand when so many other words in the same topic use the same.

It means people who subscribe to the failing economic theory of liberalism not just Democrats but Republicans and Libertarians too.

its a shared colloquial understanding on the english-speaking western internet that “lib/libs” is shorthand for “liberal/liberals” in the vast majority of cases, the person who told you it meant “libertarian” was probably looking for the word “lolbert”

My bad, I should have clarified that to the rest of the world outside of the US, “liberal” means “Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian”.
