I should not have grouped Progressives

I'm not sure why people use the term "progressive" - it seems to simply refer to liberals that don't want to be associated with their far-right cousins, but also don't want to give up on liberalism (which has always been a right-wing ideology) and actually move left. Just sems like edgy liberalism to me.

Liberals tend to move policy forward

Not really. When people were calling for fascist institutions to be defunded, Biden responded by upping their budget and putting a thousand more fascist goons on the streets. That's not "forward."
