In reply to the discussion: A New Third Way/No Labels Movement - A Coalition Between Progressives and the Alt-Right? [View all]Tom Rinaldo
(22,912 posts)15. "I am a progressive who gets results and I will be a progressive president who gets results"
Most recognize that quote from Hillary Clinton. Lately I am just as tired of Democrats allowing the term "progressive" to become identified with some far left extreme as I was of Democrats allowing the word "liberal" to become identified with some far left extreme before. Republican used to intimidate us into that.
That's my complaint with your OP title. The discussion itself isn't objectionable to me.
