(55,981 posts)Party. The Sanders/Warren Wing are clearly progressive while the other Wing that is fighting so desperately are certainly different. They are clearly not progressive. A $12 min wage, please. I call the Clinton Wing Conservative because they have the same ideology as the Conservatives did a few decades ago. They support business over the People. Goldman-Sachs and the Koch Bros endorse Clinton not Sanders. The neocons like Richard Perile endorse Clinton. These are not progressives.
The Progressive Wing voted against helping George Bush kill a million Iraqi's while our Conservative Wing all jumped ship and joined the Republicons.
One isn't a Progressive if one supports:
The corruption of Big Money in government via Citizens United.
Job killing "Free Trade" agreements
Fracking for oil company profits over people's water quality.
Unregulated domestic spying and no oversight for the NSA/CIA Security State.
Drone killing of terrorist "suspects" in foreign lands (100 innocents killed for each suspect)
Prisons for Profits
American Exceptionalism as an excuse for neocon imperialism.
The use of cluster bombs near civilian areas.
