I don't see one thing progressive about them because nothing has changed for them since the 60s with any of their ideas.
"Progressives" are what American Communists called themselves in the 1930s and what the far Left calls itself today. Progressive Insurance Co., co-funder with George Soros of MoveOn.org and other neo-Commie causes, was founded in the 30s.
Your comment reminds me of George Will's wonderful comment about the far Left being "on the cutting edge of the 1930s."
