Reply #141: Me too, as long as they keep moving progressive

[Morereason]

We *do* have to keep on them and remind them where the "center" is though. Movements are not about the "majority". The majority follows. If there is anything we should have learned, change is affected by a minority, **always**. That is why it is important to question and understand the verbage. If the terms are used to deflect while remaining true to progressive values than fine. But they can also be used to motivate and move the populace, or to make them feel comfortable where they are.

We (Dem underground)and groups like us, *are* that "minority", that will continue to encourage and use our means to move the country to more sound policies, (and yes Philosophies, because our existing underlying philosophies are bankrupt). Most of the population are like Deer in headlights. They react from fear. They take their cues from others that lead them. And if the Dem's do not lead them to better, more sustainable, and more practical, ideologies the Right will!

They can "talk" center. But they had better not stay center. Or the "center" just continues to slide to the right.

We can sit back and concede to the "center" because the public is still there because the work is not done. Or we can continue to define the better way, and MOVE that center.
