"progressive". They are remotely. What they are are anarchists that have an insatiable thirst for conflict and the angst that come with it. A progressive comes to a table with a set of wants, fights hard for those wants and signs on to agreement that advance the country farther toward a country with social and economic justice than existed before the bargaining started.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
