I'm sure neither of you agree 100% with your parties overall agenda either, does that mean you don't belong to your party either?
Progressive Republicans, historically, are modern-day Democrats. Progressive Republicans include names such as Teddy Roosevelt, George Norris and several other progressive figures. The platforms that they ran with align much closer to modern-day Democratic views. Progressive Republicans became Democrats in the Great Political Shift. Please, correct me if I am wrong here Belsnickel but this is how I understand it.
In the eyes of most of the current GOP, you would either be a RINO or Democrat if you are trying to identify yourself as a Progressive Republican. I am just saying this based on you bringing up Progressive Republicans, I don't know all of your stances.
