Bully for you that you don’t find it personally offensive.

I’m telling you, that name is only used in the political blogosphere on wingnut sites to smear all liberal and Obama voters. It is NOT used by people to mean ‘progressive’.

But, if you think it’s fine to use it as meaning ‘lib’, or ‘Dem’, or ‘left’, go for it.
It won’t make people on the left register here if that usage becomes synonymous with all those terms, and it isn’t conducive to intelligent discussion when people elide those differences.

Other than that, go for it.

We have enough progs here already ;)
