POLL: ‘Progressive’ Is The Most Positively Viewed Political Label in America

The young prefer socialism because they know what it is and aren't a bunch of Cold War dinosaurs/dittoheads like you dodos...LOL

("Coincidentally, the approval number for socialism is also the number of Americans who know what it is (Nowadays, "social democracy", fair regulation to protect the citizens from the cruelty of savage capitalism- in other word's we already have it, just a stupid version running on default GOP lines)... )"

That is because they have been fed a line of bullshit from Gubmint schools that say everyone is a winner...until they get into the real world and see the real world keeps score...and they see that they are losers and society isn't going to give them a damned thing they didn't earn.
 
The T's bus is here...

People pick progressive because they actually think the 'progress' in the word means progress. Just like liberalism, lefties have screwed up another word.

The root word for Progressive is progress and defined thusly:


1. a movement toward a goal or to a further or higher stage: the progress of a student toward a degree.

2. developmental activity in science, technology, etc., especially with reference to the commercial opportunities created thereby or to the promotion of the material well-being of the public through the goods, techniques, or facilities created.

3 advancement in general.

4. growth or development; continuous improvement: He shows progress in his muscular coordination.

5. the development of an individual or society in a direction considered more beneficial than and superior to the previous level.

Now the right can and will spin history and linguistics to fit their agenda, but to the informed it only makes them look dishonest.

Spin, Catcher? Come on...you know as well as I do that the only reason people on the left started calling themselves "Progressives" was that nobody would vote for "Liberals" anymore. I'm quite sure that as soon as the masses catch on that Progressive is the same old liberal song and dance...just with a different name...that you guys will have to come up with some other catchy name to market yourself under. Should we have a contest to see who can come up with the best one?
 
Shouldn't the fact that progressives have to change what they call themselves every few decades in order to decieve the people tell you that there is something seriously wrong with their idealogy?
 
Progressive, social engineering .....its all the same. So why did the dems run away from the progressive label circa 1920's, lol.

Because they would be found out?

Now they have full control of what used to be the Democrat Party...

They have been subverted.

They should call themselves what they are...

Communist.

Yah sure, dumb fuck. And you should call yourself a Nazi.
 
Progressives have a proud heritage.
It's a heritage that started with Karl Marx.

And ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Which tells us that LaDorka is OK with failure and mediocrity.

Hell, it is people like you that represent failure, but not mediocrity. Mediocrity would be several steps up for you 'Conservatives'.

From TR forward, progressives have represented the best of Americans.

From TR forward, the ideology of the Progressives has pretty much been the same. Invest in that which makes our people and nation strong.

From that time to the present the ideology of the 'Conservatives' has been the same, wealth for the wealthy, keep anybody differant in the gutter, and extract the last bit of sweat from the working class without ever giving them more than just a basic existance.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press out yesterday shows that “progressive” is the most positively viewed political label in America, with 67 percent holding a positive view compared to just 22 percent who view the term negatively:

The poll found that the term progressive is viewed positively by a majority of all partisan groups — including 55 percent of Republicans, 68 percent of Independents, and 76 percent of Democrats.

So? a poll found out that 35% don't know what Progressive means in politics. BFD

Bullshit. Call me a Communist, I will call you a Nazi. Just as accurate either way. More people that think they have the right to call names, but get their tails in a knot when it comes back their way.

As for the first sentence, that for sure is an accurate discription.

When the name calling is over..

Then neg me bitch... calling someone a nazi is over the top.

Plus, tell me where 'T' is wrong. The Dem liberals here spout communist BS all the time here on USMB, and our 'dear leader' is a naked Marxist.... where are we wrong?
 
The Prohibition did not create the mob, but it definately put it in the drivers seat. Just as the present War on Drugs has aided the South and Central American cartels. Without even mentioning the effect outlawing marijauna has had.

And, no, I have never used illegal drugs, not even pot. But the present laws concerning them are just as sane as the Prohibition. And it is the 'Conservatives' that are the prime supporters of those laws.
