When I look at certain pieces of information, it appears to me that the millennial generation is full of radical progressives. Maybe that will change with age, however there's significant evidence to show that radicals on the Left are growing in number and influence within the Democratic Party. When you look at American history, the most progress we've made has come from pieces of legislation that were radical for their time.

4. Well there's Rational Progressivism and Radical Progressivism

Rational progressivism tends to be more incrementalist and according to proponents of this, more "pragmatic." Radical progressivism is in more of the Sanders vein and is about making major transformational changes.

2. The M$M will call anything they want you not to support as radical.

It's nearly a badge of honor at this point.

I am a Millennial and all the reading I have done, including Stiglitz and Piketty, makes it clear that what we need is leftist policies which at this present juncture are the far-left due to the Democratic Party's sellout to corporate and special interests.
