I think that we need to take the word "progressive" away from them including when there is a choice between "left" vs. "right." They actually do not make progress. It sounds too nice for what they actually do. These things have 1 thing in common:
- Prohibition of slavery
- End of child labor
- Women in the workforce
- 40 hour work week
In the past, people's work was spent just to exist. As technology replaced hard labor and allowed people to pursue new and specialized (often easier) labor, the progress above was made possible. Before technology simplified domestic labor, a homemaker was required. These changes were not the result of a political party with better morals, it was possible because of technology (including new forms of energy, such as wood to coal to oil). The biggest problem was not making responsible social progress when technological progress happens. So called "progressives" take a naive approach, and future generations pay a terrible price. They are not "progressives," they inject social degeneracy in with technological progress.
