225. Super duper liberal on steroids? Why stop at "super" progressive, whatever the

hell that means, when there are so many words in the dictionary that could make it sound even more unlikely?

The word progressive seems to mean different things to different people. I doubt anyone in Western Massachusetts is trying to figure out what makes a centrist different from a progressive or a progressive different from a super progressive. But there are some realities.

Obama's ratings were heading toward 40 and the 2014 midterm election, despite all the supposedly popular centrists we ran, was the worst for Democrats since 1928. 1928. That's the year before 1929.

And the last horrific election for Democrats, despite all the allegedly "electible" centrists we ran at every level, was the midterm election of 2012. So the centrists are not doing the election trick.

Then Obama talks free junior college, lowering taxes for the middle class and raising them on the rich and his approval plummeted even further? No, they went to the 50% neighborhood. Or maybe it was lower gas prices. But, it was bread and butter issues for the majority and not for big business.
