Never figured out why the Left are called progressive. Seems pretty regressive to me.
It dates back a hundred year.....
To what extent did President Woodrow Wilson provide a “New Freedom” for the American people?
When Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat won the election of 1912 he received only 42% of the vote. The Progressive candidates; Roosevelt, Taft and Debs totaled 58% of the vote. Clearly America still sought progressive change. Wilson, an educator and the son of a Presbyterian Minister, recognized this and embarked on a program to continue Progressive reform called the “New Freedom.”
