….and live up to your name, Liberals. The Democrats have cheated on you, and smell of fire and brimstone.
1.Speaking of ‘smell,’ there are Liberals, and Socialists, whose political aroma is ‘offending’ normal folks.
When using the term ‘Liberal,’ I mean Socialist. I do so for two reasons, first, colloquially, they mean to describe the same individuals….today. They stand for and vote for the things, same politicians. Second, during the 20th century, Communist John Dewey convinced the Socialist Party to hide behind the name ‘Liberal,’ so we find those self-identifying as Democrats/Liberals who stand for what socialist stand for.
2. "...[John] Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding. Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term “socialism” to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name. “The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer,” Dewey declared, “is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism. The prejudice against the name may be a regrettable prejudice but its influence is so powerful that it is much more reasonable to imagine all but the most dogmatic Socialists joining a new party than to imagine any considerable part of the American people going over to them.” Dewey’s influential 1935 tract, Liberalism and Social Action, should be read in the light of this."

3. The NOQ newsletter makes the case for re-evaluating the terminology.
“True liberals are leaving the left. It’s time to welcome them to the side conserving liberty.

4. It doesn’t take a sage to recognize what has happened to the Democrat Party:
"MARXISTS AND EXTREME RADICALS SEEK TO TAKE OVER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Marxists And Extreme Radicals Seek To Take Over The Democratic Party
- DNC chairman Tom Perez said Democratic Socialists of America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “represents the future of our party.”
- DSA chapter chairs have agreed that “communism is good.”
- One DSA caucus calls its members “revolutionary Marxists.”
5. “Control is the only guiding principle for the left these days. Some are wanting to rip apart the economy because it’s unfair or simply because they want to use varying crises to control others merely for the sake of controlling others. Their desire for control is the only common principle they have left, the only thing that binds them together.
“Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” Robert A. Heinlein”

Clearly…..it is well past the time for any Democrat voters who think of themselves as ‘Liberals’ to cross the aisle and come home, with the real liberals.
Learn what socialism is.
You want people controlled by corporations.
And another one bites the dust.
