Emo Progressive
note: this term was seen as divisive and has been superseded by puritopian.
emo progressive (or “emoprog”) is a self-described liberal or progressive, often with libertarian leanings, whose political orientation is to be angry, dissatisfied and unhappy with the state of the nation at any given time, because in their view, liberal policies are not being implemented quickly or forcefully enough. they have particular contempt for democratic presidents.
emoprogs are ideological purists who disdain compromise and incremental change, which they see as “selling out” liberal ideas like full employment, an end to all wars, state secrets, and liberal social policy.
emoprogs dislike republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, “not progressive enough” or “just like a republican” no matter what policy achievements are made.
emoprogs routinely dismiss or ignore congress’ role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply “use the bully pulpit” and “fight” in order to overcome const-tutional or legislative obstacles.
emoprogs have a strong affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish democratic presidents. they are especially hostile to president obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be “obamabots” and enemies of liberalism.
example1: after eric holder announced congress had blocked the justice department from trying 9/11 mastermind ksm in civilian court, social networks lit up with emo progressives complaining that president obama had broken his campaign promise to end military tribunals. their criticism did not mention congressional democrats who helped block holder.
example2: emoprogs dismissed healthcare reform as a failure, saying president obama should have used the bully pulpit to achieve a single payer system, despite the fact that sen. harry reid made it clear that such a plan could not p-ss the senate.
