Then you should explain to your friends that they are the only ones using it outside of right wing trolls and left wing masochists. Every single person with any power or influence, be they politician or activist, has disowned the phrase. If your friends are still using it, then they are pretty dumb and out of touch.
Fortunately, they are likely also completely without any influence, so they are unlikely to make any reasonable person think that anyone with influence is using it.
(Not that there are not unreasonable people out there who will nutpick any use of the phrase from any source, no matter how trivial and obscure, and claim that it is the Democratic platform.)
