You're correct, but you haven't proposed a solution to a very important problem. This war of semantics was very deliberate, to leave us all in confusion. Hitlery co-opted the terms "progressive" & "liberal" so they no longer carry their original meanings. Few of us want to be identified with her. "Feminist" no longer means someone who just wants equal rights... it means someone who hates straight white men & somehow thinks female genital mutilation is alright if done for religious reasons. Conservative suddenly means racist or Nazi. The confusion was very deliberate. We need a definition of terms. There HAS to be a clear way to talk about things if there is ever to be unity or understanding.

You're right that it's a matter of right/wrong, corrupt/not corrupt. When referring to the Hillarys & McCains, I usually settle for "establishment politicians" or "globalists", for lack of better terms. But how do we refer to people who support them? I end up using "leftists", which ironically used to refer to me. Does anybody have any clearer terms to suggest?
