> you would be making the common mistake of associating the center-right Democratic Party with leftism. No, I'm recognizing that even the centrist New Democrats embraced woke/progressive ideas in 2020, or at least didn't dare to challenge them. Now they're distancing themselves from those ideas, so they avoid the terms as well. As Clinton strategist James Carville said: "Wokeness is a problem and we all know it." > Even if the articles description of the use of “woke” as an encapsulation of leftism were correct It is correct. It may not be how you use the word, but it is how many people, including Democrats, use the word. Here's another example in which CNN uses the term to encapsulate the Green New Deal and open immigration along with Defund the Police and the culture war, while advising Democrats to distance themselves: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/12/politics/woke-green-new-deal-defund-the-police/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/12/politics/woke-green-new-deal-... > it was confused, muddled, and largely inaccurate Here you're just descending into insults instead of substantive debate, while dismissing contrary evidence without any reason. You might try to open your mind and realize that your opinion doesn't encompass or limit all human experience.
