Non-descriptive in what sense? It goes part in parcel with horseshoe theory.

It refers to people to attempt to bully, silence and attack anyone they dislike. In doing so, people that observe or are victimized by these again develop, or increase their hatred against the causes they represent. In many ways this ends up creating a further divide between people, and actually puts the causes these groups support further from their goals. For what its worth, there's a "regressive right" as well.

That would be fine and dandy, except the horshoe theory makes no sense. The term "regressive left" is an easy label to stiffle any debate but is completely meaningless.

Oh, you mean like terms like "racist", "sexist", "misogynistic" which were all used by the media to stiffle conversation or debate? Like in Moriarty's case?
