unpopular opinion time
i don't like how "liberal" is being coopted to basically mean neocon right now. the clintons and the blue dog clinton wing of the democratic party are not liberals, they are conservative. bill clinton is a republican wet dream if it wasn't for the d next to his name, he deregulated industry, did foreign intervention, and balanced the budget. blue dog dems and third way are not liberals.
it also doesn't help that so many who identify as "liberal" seem to be pro-israel. if the term wasn't so poisoned i would be more happy to call myself a left liberal. i like systems and electoralism and liberal democracy. but i also believe in building coalitions, and right now the left left is gaining steam, thats an opportunity, not a threat. and we need to turn left from this shithole we've been in since at least reagan.
it'll never happen where neocon voters support a democrat, they've been forcefed anti democratic propaganda for decades. i remember when a progressive dem won a local election in texas he branded himself like an independent with a yellow lawn sign and "democrat" nowhere to be seen.
i don't see the progressive left as a threat to democracy.
