According to CNN: Democrats are being advised to run like hell from the liberal label, and instead recast themselves as “progressives,” according to a private report by the liberal think tank The Center for American Progress.
There’s more: “The word liberal is associated closely with a well-meaning, admirable, but ultimately weak, naive, and ineffective approach to politics and governance,” said the report.
The Democrats here sound like a party of Rumpelstiltskins ? they’ll make you some fantastic promises, hope you won’t investigate the fine print, and go bonkers if you identify them for what they are.
P.S. My love of language compels me to agree with the idea of no longer calling Democrats “liberal” ? but my reason is markedly different from this report’s.
