Get ready for more Democratic re-branding. After Hillary's defeat plus a decade of losing massive seats everywhere from Congress down to the state level, its time for another name change. The leaders of the cult will never admit their failed policies are to blame - it just those damned stupid voters again. If they just tweak their presentation . . .
Look no further that the posts on this topic to view examples of the many word games they like to play. None of this is new, of course, we've seen this movie before.
Last time around it was the shiny new term "Progressives" which they artfully slipped into every conversation humanly possible. Funny, but you just don't hear that term being used much at all these days. It has magically disappeared.
Yet "Progressives" was never really all that shiny nor new. In the early 1900's the various Communist factions in the United States felt they were getting a bad rap by overseas dictators. One faction whipped up the name "Progressives" as a cute little spin on their fascist ideology.
Over time the members of the group began to tire of being beaten to a pulp in the streets of America. So it was spin time again. After experimenting with a few other make overs, the group settled upon the term "Liberal" - yes yes, that sounds shiny and new. But of course the public eventually became disgusted with trillions of dollars wasted and a never ending string of tragic policies. The term "Liberal" finally became taboo like the others. And that is why they fed us the new/old term "Progressives".
So its spin time again - are you ready for a little more Democratic/Progressive re-branding?

Maybe we should conduct an online poll and help them out by offering new name suggestions for the Democratic party. I can think of several off the top of my head, but the F-word may not be fit for print. They'll probably just recycle an old one anyway.
And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they give us something like, "National Socialist American Workers' Party".
