It is truly amazing how mindless Conservatives submit to politically correct language.
Why do they use the term “Progressive” when the only correct term is “Leftists”?
Way back when, Leftists figured that the average voter would confuse the Progressive term with “Progress.” Mindless Conservatives dutifully follow their lead.
I always consider “progressive” in the political context to be the same as the medical context. It’s like cancer and will keep on getting worse until it kills you - unless you vote for surgery to cut it out like we did in 2016.
“a new “progressive” movement which call for the most serious consideration of the communist and left-wing workers.”
