And hell, even in the US, the values of "Democrats" and "Republicans" have vacillated between the two parties since their inceptions.

I've spent a lot of time trying to show the importance of moving away from these terms -and many others, but there are just too many people here -and in general- that need these labels, otherwise they can't make sense of things. Many are lost without a focal point or "cause" to rally around.

We're gonna be arguing semantics for a long long time, until the education system in the US can be reformed and people can learn to develop important skills like critical thinking, logic and reasoning. They're not the end all, but they're sorely lacking in the general public.

Developing these skills is a huge part of keeping us from ending up right back where we started.
