I do think it’s important to not use terminology that is predefined in people’s heads to be “bad” when communicating policy

Then you surrender to the opposition's framing and end up in semantic contortions because you don't stand your ground.

    That's the conclusion you made from my comment? Like, what do you think I'm talking about here?

    Like, at most, you could ask for clarification on what "bad" things I mean here. I could definitely explain that better here.

    But, damn, what a jump to a conclusion you made. Especially given the context that the rest of my comment was literally about the importance of NOT being afraid of the language of "the left".

    Maybe my comment wasn't directed at you? Maybe I was trying to explain something to someone with the opposite belief of you and I?
