(1,406 posts)Progressive is not an exclusive wing. It defines the continuous move of those Democrats thru history who fought for parity & equality across the board.
You lay no claim to exclusivity without recognizing those Democrats who have also worn the progression of positive forward policy till their shoes wore thin.
Their is no progressive wing. Progress belongs to all who proudly have worn the Democratic label for the good of this country.
I can think of a few seriously non-progressive choices Sen Sanders himself has made throughout his history.
Just the other day we were shocked to see 2 recent theories of his emerge that would cause one to question his claim of Progressiveness as held above the Democratic values.
Where exactly, then, does progressive begin and where is the line drawn?
In this case, one would see that progressive is not exclusive but it is rather, fluid.
You tell me.
