She said she prefers to be called progressive. But she didn’t deny that she is liberal. The term liberal has fallen out of favor by the types of people who advocate certain changes in government and society. But they still believe in those changes.
The left has a long history of hijacking words and symbols with good connotations to hide behind. Liberal used to be a good word but has been totally ruined by the left. Progressive still has its good connotations, hence the hijack.

The left is a snake driven by evil forces that must shed it's skin periodically. This is only made possible by the leftist MSM which goes along with it all.
