4. Could it be that no one has bothered to define Progressive in today/s
terms?

From all appearances it appears that some Democrats decided to
call themselves progressive because they were not willing to
fight back when the GOP decided to smear the word Liberal.
There is no overarching philosophy to which Progressives subscribe
and are willing to go to the mat to defend.

Here is an example: Nancy Pelosi refers to herself as Progressive
Hillary Clinton defined herself as a Progressive during the Debates
in Primary. I have a sneaking suspicion these two women have some
differences in their world view.
