That's liberalism.
Fair point. I should not have grouped Progressives with Liberals. But in the current US political landscape, Liberals tend to move policy forward even if they are only tiny incremental changes.
I'm not sure why people use the term "progressive" - it seems to simply refer to liberals that don't want to be associated with their far-right cousins, but also don't want to give up on liberalism (which has always been a right-wing ideology) and actually move left. Just sems like edgy liberalism to me.
Not really. When people were calling for fascist institutions to be defunded, Biden responded by upping their budget and putting a thousand more fascist goons on the streets. That's not "forward."
