progressives are different from communists or socialists because they were not In favor of an aggressive overthrow of the government . They just were content to slowly transform the govenment to socialism.
I don't mind their being progressives . I do mind that they have co-opted terms like liberal and conservative to forward their cause. Average Americans do not know this because it's the dirty little secret rarely discussed openly until recently which has started the civil war within the GOP. Which is why Cruz is so high and Bush isn't .
