The left wants to make "conservative" equals "controversial" and thus leftist/liberal/"progressive"(ugh I hate that word usurp) equals NONcontroversial.
each nuanced article is just an effort to push the spin.
Imagine how baited breath the left is with B.Clinton to give him the reagan treatment. I bet Hitlary has a presidential campaign designed to run based on being a "clinton widow."
progressive just means communist to me.
