My man, it's Wikipedia. It's where he copied the text from. You could afford to put in a little effort to engage in good faith.
Progressives absolutely support cutting military spending to divert funding to single-payer healthcare.
Cutting military spending is not anti-war.
Cutting military spending is a clever deal to keep the wars going AND fund Healthcare.
Progressives are pro-war, and that isn't liberal.
Liberals traditionally are Democrat and are increasingly disenfranchised.
Jesus, are you 12?
Give me that urban dictionary link that tells me what a liberal Democrat is. Fuck.
I have never seen this take before in my life
Never?
The term progressive isn't new.
The new use of the term stems from when Hilary, in a primary debate, refused to identify as liberal (being a life long staunch conservative until she was stuck on her liberal hubby's coat tails), and instead insisted that she was a progressive.
She lost the election to Obama.
When it was time for Progressive-Democrat Hilary to take the office from Liberal-Democrat Obama, she lost to Liberal-Recently-Democrat Sanders... then the DNC disagreed and cast a "revote" to put up Progressive-Democrat Hilary anyway.
She lost the election to Trump.
In the biggest slow pitch in history, America "anyone else"-ed itself into Progressive-Biden, who has spent 4 years jerking off Republicans into a frenzy (oh sorry, reacharounding... er... reaching across the aisle) and funding genocide. Like you'd expect if you listened to Hilary about what a modern Progressive is.
You have been completely unaware of all of this?
They report this stuff extensively...
