    Oh now I get what you mean. You and I, we don’t have the same definition of progressives: neither in scope, nor in stances.

      I mean, I put quotations around progressives because the small subset of online self proclaimed progressives in places like Hexbear and lemmygrad are like the above.

      For me a real progressive is someone like Biden who just got an agreed 5 day ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, kept other nations from escalating, and has a record of passing progressive legislation, especially as president. Also, for me, a “progressive” is someone like Jill Stein who has lunch with Putin, supports the Ukraine invasion, and only runs to get Republicans elected.
