Every now and again, people on the far right take a quote from a progressive out of context and use it to attack them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm comfortable on the progressive side. But I'm still more pitched at fighting the Right than I am about building a progressive platform for the future. It's fair to say that that conversation doesn't interest me as much.
Progressives know there is something very wrong when a nation divided politically has one major network operating as a propaganda arm of the Republican Party and 90 percent of talk radio is dominated by right-wing extremists.
We need to punch back against the extremes of both the left and the right and define the terms of the debate ourselves.
I am not just a liberal movement. I come from the progressive Left. I am trying to refresh and counter the system.
Progressives want a different sort of media than what the Right wants.
The Left likes to think of itself as the bulwark of progressive liberal individualism, and yet it seeks to progressively coerce others to fund every social program under the sun via majority rule.
Leftists always want to... circle around subjects... rather than addressing any subject directly.
I'm conservative on some issues, and I'm progressive on others.
Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.
I've seen how the left has used it to accuse opponents of their version of reform of being bigots and racists.
