“Assemblyman Alex Lee, a progressive Democrat...”
We must refrain from being passive in our writing and use the same type of terminology the leftists use against us. To do otherwise is to give the competition a head start in the race for thoughts, ideas and ultimately, the resulting conclusions.
Corrected for emphasis;
“Assemblyman Alex Lee, a radical leftist Democrat...”
“Progressive” implies they are for “progress”. They are not.
In debate, whoever defines the terms controls the narrative.
In another view, a false premise leads to false conclusions. If the alleged premise remains to stand uncorrected, that they are for “progress”, then any other viewpoint is, by their definition defaulted to “anti-progress”. Implied in this is “archaic, old fashioned, behind the times, or Neanderthal”.
“Gay” behavior is not “happy”, it is correctly defined as homosexuality. Do not let your opponent define the narrative. Ever.
Stop it AT. Define the terms correctly, or your argument is weakened in complicity.
...that is all
The word “progressive” has meant Communist for many decades.
The Communists believed and believe in a world of “progress” where everybody lived happily ever after...
as their slaves.
