Liberal is a stupid label whereas Progressive has an actual history and philosophy attached to it!
Go on..Google The Progressive Movement or Wikipedia the phrase and it will bring up a lot of proud history of reforms.
Now try to do the same with "Liberal" and see what comes up. Not much.
Liberal has no There there!
Was Mother Jones a liberal or a Progressive?
Again it just bears repeating that it was the Progressive Movement of the early 1900's that we are self-identifying with!
I can tell you exactly what a Progressive is and what they stand for and what they have done in the history of this country.
What the fuck is a liberal? What is the defining philosophy of the "liberal movement"? I mean, there just isn't any actual meaning or history to the label.
Let the "liberal" label fade away.
