18. none of these terms mean "better" people

none of them, liberal, conservative, centrists, the base, none of them mean a group of people that's better than the people in other groups. If it did, then it would be useless because everyone would just define them to be whatever group they themselves are in.

I don't think "the base" has to be activists. It could include slobs that sit around on their asses watching sports 24hrs a day, but who always vote for democrats on election day. I doubt there's just one definition but I think mine is a pretty good one from the way I've heard the term used.
