===Modern revival===
The term was revived in the early 21st century by [[politician]]s and [[media celebraties]] who considered traditional liberals too willing to [[compromise]] with moderates and conservatives.

It was implemented to help distance politicians, mainly [[Democrats]], from the negative history associated with various members of the party at that time.
