Progressive politics in Americais not about alignment with a set of morals, or ascribing to a certain bundle of values. No, it is about whether or not you buck the system. This realization may be the biggest reason that, even though i ascribe to some similar beliefs as Progressives...I'll probanly never associate myself with that movement ever again.
