They're good at communication. Communication is getting your point across in a way that your audience understands.

Progressives are terrible at it - we keep changing the names of things, and use increasingly complex language for trivial stuff.

Absolutely. The name changes are because reactionaries keep attacking those names and progressives keep on not standing up to these attacks and defending those terms.

Of course, deep-pocketed folks who want to divide the people are funding reactionary messaging but I'm getting to think more and more the bigger problem is that those on the people's side who would best communicate these things are exactly the ones who don't have the time and energy to be involved in communication. So instead it's either inadvertently condescending talk-downs or wishy-washy and corporate-sounding slogans from people who might just a bit too far removed from the actual problems at hand.
