Actually Bugs, it’s real simple.
Research has proven that “liberal” is a word that most Americans DO NOT identify with and dislike those associated with it.
“Progressive” still fools a lot of Americans (not real conservatives), and is far more acceptable to the ignorant and independents.
A key tactic of Communism and liberals is to get rid of words that alienate, and use new words that do not offend. I.e., get rid of “homosexual”, replace with “gay”. Don’t use “taxes” because most who pay them are against them, but replace with “revenues”, a word that has a good response.
Or redefine words, like “marriage”.

But why do we let them get away with it?
