- dragonwriter 5y ago> Pushing for change is progressive. Or regressive, depending on the nature and effect of the change.
- Jach 5y agoAre you being serious with this linguistic game? One might just as well argue that stopping the construction gravy train would be the progressive push for change, while letting it continue even to absurd conclusions like empty skyscrapers and bridges to nowhere is the conservative position.

- oh_sigh 5y agoSo by this definition, if I want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare and let the elderly and sick fend for themselves - I'm a progressive.
