28. Well they certainly aren't progressives.
The Republicans embrace their party platform in near lockstep, Democrats can not find any agreement on theirs. There is quite simply no such thing as an "ideologically pure" progressive position, many of us do have certain values we hold important to us and we will speak out when any politician goes against those values but that is not anywhere near the same thing as ideological purity.
