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.
