And wiki says about Progressives.... en.wikipedia.org First: In the Unitesd (sic) States the term Progressivism refers to two political tendencies: political progressivism rooted in optimistic social and economic reform movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s; and ideological or modern left-wing progressivism which sees itself as a reform movement to the left of Democratic Party liberalism, but stopping short of revolutionary demands. Both forms view themselves as moving the society forward through dramatic reform of existing laws and policies, and thus claim they stand for societal progress.
