For too long being labeled a "Progressive" has been seen as a bad thing. The reality is that without Progressives, we wouldn't have the quality of life we have today. Can you imagine a world where you couldn't vote? no overtime pay? no safety regulations? child labor was still going on? All of these things, and more, have been fought for by Progressives and fought against by the Radical Right Conservatives. Progress Isn't Radical, but regression is.
