Democratic Primaries

Here are a few that dissatisfy me:

Moderate/Centrist: what do these even mean? Moderate compared to what? In the center of what? (The party? the political spectrum?) These are relational terms, and are therefore open to many different interpretations.

Establishment: hello? The political leaders the people have have elected? They may be left, right, or, gasp, center. Any government that would be formed would be, de facto, the Establishment.

Corporate: c'mon guys, I know it's a good bogey man, but we all partake of and, frankly, need corporations in our daily lives. We couldn't be typing out these posts without an Apple or a Dell or whatever. Every time you buy toilet paper you are buying it from a corporate concern. We speak of corporations as if they are evil spirits that need to be abolished. We need them, but what we also need is to sensibly regulate them. They need to serve consumers more than shareholders; they need to compensate workers; they need to pay taxes. But "corporation" is not in itself a dirty word. I'll accept the phrase "corporate responsibility." I scorn the appellation "corporatist."

Okay, enough for today.
