Hmmm!

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
(directly quoted first paragraph from above link)

Yep! That sounds EXACTLY like what she is!

Liberal, Progressive, Communist. What’s the difference?

The difference is the level of force one is willing to use to implement their ideas.

Considering Hillary's pathological/psychotic nature, I would place her in the Stalinist camp.

HILLARY LACK OF LEADERSHIP ALERT :: FOCUS GROUPS SHOW BETTER TO BE “PROGRESSIVE” THAN “LIBERAL”

Poll by Scott Rasmussen indicates ‘progressive’ viewed much more positively than ‘liberal’

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/labels_matter_progressive_better_than_liberal_reagan_like_better_than_conservative

During last Monday’s Democratic Presidential debate, Senator Hillary Clinton indicated that she preferred to be called “progressive” rather than “liberal.” The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that is probably a good move—Americans are more receptive to the term progressive.

Just 20% said they consider it a positive description to call a candidate politically liberal while 39% would view that description negatively. However, 35% would consider it a positive description to call a candidate politically progressive. Just 18% react negatively to that term. Those figures reflect a huge swing, from a net negative of nineteen points to a net positive of 17 points.

Hitler used the word “progressive” to describe his movement also.

Can’t find it now, but H3llary did say, at one point, “Bill and I have always been socialists.”

You know, it is a word that originally meant that you were for freedom, that you were for the freedom to achieve, that you were willing to stand against big power and on behalf of the individual.

Right there she lets the cat out of the bag for anyone without their eyes glazed over and ears full of wax. She correctly states it "originally" meant classic liberal at the time of the founding.

Who perverted it's meaning? The left. When it became toxically associated with the left, they co-opted a new term. Progressive. Nothing about progress in their meaning unless you consider the steady onward march to totalitarian authority as being such. Call it whatever you want. It's truest identity is Marx.

These cretins even redefine what the meaning of “is” is. Anything to twist the word game in their favor. And the public sleeps on!
