Bernie is too far left to be a liberal. Good luck to him though.
The correct term is "progressive."
They don't want people hearing it, because progressives actually want to reduce the disparity in wealth.
Liberals, conservatives, and especially libertarians do not.
The term is actually Democratic Socialist. Which he has repeatedly reiterated in highly televised settings for 9 years, and in less televised setting for decades before that
Though Social Democrat may be more accurate in some respects.
Either way, "progressive" is a weasel word label that neoliberals use to cloak themselves in the language of the left. See: Hillary and Pete
Hillary "Campaigns with Kissinger after we knew he sabotaged Vietnamese peace talks to get a job" Clinton
Jesus with all these ever shifting labels
If you've never bothered to learn anything about political science, there's no need to be proud of it. Just read a little and educate yourself
Elitist white college kid attitude right there. For a bunch of people claiming to be left and progressive, some of you do everything possible up push people away with your elitist, nose in the air, white patriarchal bullshit.
I got a 2 year degree from a community college and then went to technical school. Im a blue collar hourly worker. None of my formal education (which ended nearly 20 years ago) included political science.
I educated myself so i wouldn't sound ignorant talking about things i am interested in. It's not hard. Libraries are free and the internet is full of information
High school dropout here calling bullshit on that. Being informed is not "elitist".
The problem is when people equate college and university to being informed, which is what the guy I'm replying to did
Or five minutes on Google and Wikipedia
Says the person using Lemmy
Ok....??
So you're being a hypocrite given what you're criticizing and what this site is
Just because you're learning of the existence of these terms now doesn't mean they just came into existence today.
I said shifting. As in they've changed meaning over time.
