Pick Your Side! You Have to Choose a Movement Name!

The People's Democratic Socialist Front
or
The Socialist People's Democratic Front
or
The Socialist Democratic People's Front
or
...

Pick a side to be on, and let the attacking begin, eh? It's a freaking Monty Python dilemma.

How about let's have the Anti-Republican Unified Party? That sounds wonderful to me. We can sort all that other shit out after we've regained control of Congress and elected a President.

Until then, it's all just useless naming of parts. We will not win by splitting. We will not win by attacking each other. We will win only when we come together to defeat the Right. Once we do that, then we can engage in this sort of useless splitting into factions.

If that's not good enough, then go with The Partay Front of the People's Socialist Democratic Social People Front Party.

I have that on good information. Yessir. The word, "freedom" is a right-wing tell.
