@ahmedfarah2930 FDR was a centrist, but his responses to crises were progressive.
Biden is a centrist, but his responses to the crises have been progressive.
In other words, stop being narrow and inflexible. And be certain you know the meaning of "progressive" before slinging it.
Most important is to educate yourself in actual political history -- not the "Leftist" variety. I was a young adult during the 1960s and early 1070s; and 99 per cent of the "history" of the 1960s I hear from the "progressive" "Left" is HORSESHIT -- bias and wishful thinking, NOT FACT. Sam Seder is among the worst of them.
It was the "Left" who got Nixon elected, because the "Left's" tactics ALIENATED the moderate middle we needed to reach in order to get the US out of Vietnam. As result, that involvement continued into the mid-1970s. Today it's fashionable to blame LBJ for the escalation, but it was Nixon who EXPANDED that war OUTSIDE Vietnam.
See the PBS documentary "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History". REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt was the "father" of Progressivism. He was the first to make the NATIONAL gov't NATIONAL. He established the national parks system (as a conserva-tionist). He was for a national health system.
But when he ran for re-election as head of the third-party "Progressive Party" he went off the rails, thus defeating the moderate Republican Taft; elected was the white supremacist Democrat Wilson.
Be careful what you wish for -- you might get it. Or as happened in 2016, as result of the arrogant so-called "progressive" political illiterates, their "hero" Sanders helped elect Trump. And some of them wanted to "blow up the system" so voted for Trump.
How did that work out not only for "progressives" but also for the rest of us who have progressive ideals and goals -- but are PRAGMATIC?
