really just confused the already furrow browed American public even more.
I think it's always more useful to talk about what you want to get done, how you want to get it done, when you want to get it done, and why you want to get it done. Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound, and part of a bigger project. If it's more expedient to eschew labels altogether in order to gain allies to what is fundamentally a cause that you share while disagreeing about what to call it, then do so. Loyalty to a signifier can only get you so far.
Much of politics is vague, unmeasurable goals and evading responsibility for not achieving them. Look at Trump, he promised to build the wall, didn't do it, and people still scream at his campaign rallies like they're European techno music festivals.
