The "liberal" label has been making a slow but systematic comeback for the past 20 years. Still not as popular as conservative, but the branding worries are really overblown. Just an excuse to clutch pearls and whine about someone on the internet calling them smug and arrogant.

so-called "Liberals" have been attacking me for some years - I'm just too pro-business, too old, too establishment, too heartless/different on Mexican immigration, etc. It's gotten crazy - to be pro-union can be establishment and post-establishment at the same time (depending on the spin), and we should go back to unions but look forward to non-establishment solutions.... as just 1 example of the cognitive disconnect.

We largely won the social debate over gay marriage in 2004 while losing everything else. This past year, the left spent its energy re-debating a precarious Obamacare, getting North Caroliners riled up over transexual bathrooms and going AWOL in Dakota over a pipeline. A huge lack of priorities.

And then the latest Silicon Valley WTF article - $1 million from 2 tech fat cats makes a bit of difference when the opposition is spending billions?
