What does any of this have to do with misuse of "antisemitism"? Progressives are best defined by their opposition to wealth inequality, so how is any of this on them? If you think progressives in the US are too soft, that's fine, but they are certainly better on wealth inequality than the conservatives and neoliberals.

Well, not being in the US, most exposure I've had to self-proclaimed "Progressives" is British neoliberals (mainly the New Labour types).

If "progressives" are indeed against wealth inequality (what in other countries is just called "being leftwing"), maybe it's as somebody else said that it's just that the people I've mainly run across claiming to be "progressives" were just liberals.
