We
decided to stop using the word 'progressive' to describe the more
liberal of San Francisco's political factions because it is a
politically loaded term that doesn't mean much to our readers. And
while 'progressive' may be the preferred term of some politicians —
and, of course, they are free to use it to describe themselves — it
doesn't describe where they sit on the traditional political spectrum.
We believe using adjectives such as 'far left' and 'ultra liberal' more
accurately describe city politicians and policies in that broader
context.
