6. I'm talking about the group name you proposed in the post I responded to.

As you yourself pointed out in your OP, a name can carry connotations. The concept of "connotations" is that a phrase or sentence can convey something, even without "a freakin' word" that expressly states that particular view and even if the author didn't intend that connotation.

Specifically, I was talking about the connotations of not including "Democratic Party" in the name. My concern is that discussions of other reform efforts would be considered on-topic.

I did not intend to express any problem with other Democrats, be they to my left (as some are) or to my right (as most are).

It's a proposal for a name of a group on a DEMOCRATIC website. 99Forever Nov 2014 #7
