This is exactly why it’s important because words do have a meaning. Calling the left at large liberal when today significant portion of it could not be further from it is something that needs to be called out. Having a comparison which says “Democratic” vs “Conservatives” is also harmful as you now paint one side as authoritarian. I want to have clear definitions and for words to have meaning specifically to avoid any confusion in regards to the issues you have mentioned and many more. If we take the the US an example I think you would want to make a distinction between civil war republicans and those of today just as you would want to make a distinction between the democrats that institutionalized racial segregation through Jim Crow and those of today. So I do not believe I’m avoiding anything I’m just not picking and choosing based on what would benefit my agenda. Identify politics is poison in general and if we must resort to it in since casss we must make sure that we use the clearest definitions possible and use them correctly.
