Why doesn't anyone ever call the Dem's for what they are?

The party of slavery
The party of Jim Crow
The party that fought the CRA
The party of the KKK
The party of Antifa/BLM

It doesn't even matter. They steal whatever they want.

1/3 of this country sees them for what they are and despises them.
1/3 of this country sees them for what they are and cheers them.
1/3 of this country is distracted and oblivious.

Because
quote:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support free markets, free trade, limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.

Democrats just stole the word Liberal, they never were, after they trashed the name they moved on to "progressive", taking a positive term and turning it negative is just something they do.

I don’t think you know what liberal means. Liberal and socialism are opposites. Socialism involves force. Liberalism, true classical liberalism, involves liberty. I’m glad they don’t generally call themselves liberals anymore because they aren’t.

Because most Democrats aren’t true socialists.

Socialists like Bernie get bullied and undercut in the dem party. If you look deeper at who funds the dem party, you’ll realize that it’s many of the same people who own the likes of Mitt Romney and McConnell. Hillary’s and Joe’s people are not really socialists, they’re big business oligarchs. True socialists like Bernie would gut those companies

same reason they don't refer to themselves as Satanists or marxists; negative connotation which is the opposite of what their propaganda machine wants. They're satanists and marxists and socialists and liberals and progressives. the comments on this page show none of you really get it. It all goes back to marxism, which is really just a humanistic word for satanism.

They all think fascism is a far right form of government. When it comes to defining the many forms of governments, the party of the intelligentsia is woefully dumb.

Add a layer of dishonesty and hypocrisy on top of that, and that’s what you get with today’s liberals.

1. They aren’t liberals

2. Bernie Sanders calls himself a Democratic Socialist. They think when you put the word democratic in front of socialist it makes it sound less bad.

3. Democrats are masters at changing the meaning of words.

I never considered them 'liberal' (that's because I value the true meaning of words) - I kept 'using' the term until sometimes in the 70's when it became obvious it was just another false platitude. Unless I decide attach something more degrading, insulting, or vulgar to them, I just use something like extreme left-wing, left wing radicals or "progressive" (with the air quotes) to them.

They are in no way liberal. They are actually hedonistic libertines with a tyrannical socialist political agenda.

perhaps the greatest achievement of their evil agenda.

Which is why I utterly detest the platitudes that are used as political imperatives - when the actions they intend are the exact opposite of the actual meaning of platitude hi-jacked by the title.

I detest it on both sides - but it is the only tactic of the leftists.

Dems do not call themselves Socialists for the same reason that Republicans do not call themselves Nazis. Neither term is accurate.

I know plenty of Dems who refers to themselves as either liberal or progressive
