Huh. You know, you're right! I NEVER see that anymore! Squinch Apr 2017 #1

You don't even hear the term "corporatist" applied frazzled Apr 2017 #2

And you're right too! Oligarch! No one says oligarch either! Squinch Apr 2017 #3

Well, we do hear it about Russians. pnwmom Apr 2017 #5

But never about Democrats any more... Squinch Apr 2017 #6

This may bother some folks.. disillusioned73 Apr 2017 #28

There are certainly a lot of trolls around here. Many decamped to JPR, but many remain. Squinch Apr 2017 #33

Doesn't that defeat the term "trolls"??.. disillusioned73 Apr 2017 #35

I don't see people with leftist views as the enemy either. I see trolls as the enemy. But thatS me. Squinch Apr 2017 #37

Interesting. pnwmom Apr 2017 #4

Well, to be fair, calling a Republican a "corporatist" is like calling a serial killer a murderer. HughBeaumont Apr 2017 #31

People Objected to It Because It Usually Refers to Women Leith Apr 2017 #7

Is it because we finally realize that we have to unite, instead of fragmentize question everything Apr 2017 #8

No, isn't. How could saying TRUMP is whoring for corporations, the banks, etc.fragmentize Democrats? pnwmom Apr 2017 #10

I believe you answered your own question... whathehell Apr 2017 #38

I hope so. nt ihaveaquestion Apr 2017 #13

Not hearing "Third Way" much anymore, either. MineralMan Apr 2017 #9

"Third Way" most definitely come from russian trolls ! stonecutter357 Apr 2017 #20

I remember a lot of folks.. disillusioned73 Apr 2017 #30

Or from, you know, Third Way themselves, QC Apr 2017 #32

You are on to something here! R B Garr Apr 2017 #11

I don't miss it, myself.. whathehell Apr 2017 #39

How strange! mcar Apr 2017 #12

Gotta say... sheshe2 Apr 2017 #22

Oh for god's sake! mcar Apr 2017 #24

Yup.... sheshe2 Apr 2017 #25

I'd consider it a foregone conclusion... Shandris Apr 2017 #14

I don't understand Kentonio Apr 2017 #42

Confusing, isn't it? whathehell Apr 2017 #44

People stopped using it because we were in a general election and they were required to SUPPORT pnwmom Apr 2017 #45

So you want people to start using a gender offensive word? Kentonio Apr 2017 #48

I saw no inference to use it regardless of context... merely an objective compare and contrast. LanternWaste Apr 2017 #55

What I'm trying to get to the bottom of Kentonio Apr 2017 #58

I want people to understand that much of the criticism against strong women, pnwmom Apr 2017 #56

You could be right that it hasn't been used because he's a man Kentonio Apr 2017 #60

People stopped using it to avoid getting banned. It was never "accepted" by many as offensive. nt LexVegas Apr 2017 #46

How do you know? Did you ask them? Kentonio Apr 2017 #47

Yep. LexVegas Apr 2017 #49

Sure you did.. Kentonio Apr 2017 #51

No, it wasn't banned till the general election, when posters were required to support the Dem. pnwmom Apr 2017 #52

I know. There was never an agreement that it was offensive from many Sanders supporters. LexVegas Apr 2017 #53

and we still see it against the Democratic Party. nt Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #50

Perceptive observation BainsBane Apr 2017 #54
