I hate how vague the terms get when we only need 3:
Progressives - ones that want things to improve
Conservatives - ones that want things to get worse
Dumbass cowards - who are so afraid of change that they'll refuse to even fix the things conservatives are breaking. They change their own label a lot, but are most widely known as "neoliberals", "third way Dems", or "moderates".
But group 3 is why we need to stop using all the stupid labels, the same fucking people will say you can't hold them accountable for their past failings because today they have a brand new label.
But what they're doing clearly hasn't been working and their self chosen label isn't why. So just changing the label of neoliberalism again isn't going to fix anything.
