So there are only Liberals of the type that aren't interested in equality and no other ones?
I am not a fan of the USA democratic party atm (Bernie would have been great, but yeah...) but it sounds like a bit of a false dichotomy that all liberals don't care about social issues.
Some socialists are very authoritarian so there's no guarantee that groups that are against class warfare uphold social liberties either.

I guess it depends on your definitions. Modern liberalism, to me, is too deeply rooted in market capitalism to ever provide a suitable alternative to whatever havoc Trump is wreaking at any given moment.
Sure they may nominally care about social progress but as the past few decades in both British and American politics have demonstrated, it's impossible in reality to support both social and economic progress and neoliberal economics. All the pandering in the world couldn't change the fact that Hilary was not interested in any progress but that of the financial industry and her own campaign coffers. She offered no alternative to Obama's failed policies and was rightly rejected by the electorate.
Until somebody offers a real alternative to Trump and the conditions which gave us Trump, nothing will change. Bernie would have been a start, sure.
The FBI isn't interested in helping you, and if it does manage to get rid of Trump (which it won't) it will go right back to propping up crypto-fascist US hegemony and subjugating the global poor. Nor are the "rebel" Republicans who have somehow found a conscience after dedicating their careers to pillaging the most vulnerable in society. They do not deserve our support regardless of how hard they go after Trump.

Your two examples of why Democrats are the good guys are pretty easily debunked. The Democrats make a show of promoting free healthcare when in fact what they are promoting is a humiliating means tested paperwork exercise. I don't doubt that they would prefer people not to die but then what good capitalist wouldn't want to maintain a surplus of healthy workers in a low wage economy?
Labour's problem isn't really comparable to the Democratic Party. The Democrats' problem right now is that they remain incapable of accepting that they handed the presidency to Trump by not standing for anything. The reason they won't stand for anything? Because their campaigns are paid for by the financial sector, the military industrial complex, the pharma industry etc etc. The US is desperately hurting for a party that genuinely represents working people - the Democrats will never be that.
Honestly I see where you're coming from but we're so far beyond being able to entertain best-worst arguments that they're really not worth having. Why wouldn't Hilary commit to a meaningful minimum wage increase, or to an actual universal healthcare programme, or to de-escalating US imperialist projects overseas? It's because they are following the money, just like Trump. They're just better at hiding it.
Any assertion that the FBI can be a force for justice is, as you put it, not worth the trouble to respond to.
