Letter to the Editor: Progressives identify with contemporary radical leftists

Posted

Editor,

I recently cited a poll created by Northwest Progressive Institute and wondered whether one might trust a “progressive” poll. A representative of the institute responded, saying Republicans do trust their reports. Yet, of all the possible words they might select to identify themselves, they willfully cloaked themselves with a term widely accepted as being identifiable with America’s contemporary radical leftists. Perhaps they simply hope the word will cause the current crop of Marxists to look upon their work with favor.
