The practice of changing words or phrases to make them sound better (being more politically correct) is exactly what we do when we call Democrats “Progressives” (a/k/a liberals), but we actually mean that they should really be called Marxist/Socialists.
The Democrats think that the word “liberal” is a term that carries a negative meaning, so that's why they use the word “Progressive”. It's still the same leftist programs no matter what you call it. Joe Biden, in order to appease the left-flank of his party and in order to get their vote, tried to portray himself as a “progressive moderate” (an oxymoron if there ever was one), but was that a good description of his program? Is it moderate to propose a government-run healthcare program (Universal Medicare); is it moderate to ban fossil fuels in the future to be replaced by unreliable renewable energy sources by proposing a “Green New Deal”; is it moderate to institute a government mandated minimum wage thereby causing mass unemployment of the very inexperienced workers they claim they want to help; is it moderate to raise everyone's income taxes by rescinding the Trump tax cuts; is it moderate to halt construction of the southern border wall which has greatly cut down on the number of illegal aliens entering the country; is it moderate to call for the “defunding of the police” claiming it would have a positive effect upon the communities, when in fact it had the opposite effect? The list could go on and on as the proposals by Biden are really not moderate but “Progressive” (a/k/a Marxist/Socialist).
