That said, I'm extremely disappointed in some factions of the Democratic party and alleged "progressives" (they're not) helping to enable the labeling panic. This is a good time give your representatives a phone call.
Again, for the millionth time already: do not make the mistake of thinking that "our" "representatives" actually "represent" the "people". Their votes are bought and paid for, policies awarded to the highest bidder.
Unfortunately, this is true. There are some that are not bought — but, overall, what HASN'T happened, from Maine to Hawaii, since Jan. 20 2009 has really disappointed me. I can't believe that change is going to come from our reps and presidents, anymore. Only the grassroots. If the grassroots ever wake up.
