    Research from the Brookings Institution found there was a "huge increase" in the number of Democrats who identified as a "progressive" this election year: • 44% in 2018 • 29% in 2016 • 26% in 2014https://n.pr/2RjMDd2

        The progressive label means about as much to me as "processed cheese stuffs" at his point. Voting records are what I use to determine "progressive" choices. Your platform beyond that is all the matters. Your history, and your plan.

        I think you would find that of those who identify as progressives do not necessarily match those who identify as socialists. Some people just want progress without a historically absurd economic system.

        Bernie is a socialist All the Democrat leadership are socialists and open borders apologists Neither party is abiding by economics rules Although the debt doubled under Obama ...it is still increasing ...at the same rate under Republicans

        Bernie definitely is, but I cannot say all Democratic leadership is. Much like Republicans they want more control, and I think the promise of socialism is more of a tool than a philosophy to them. Except for Bernie, he is a true believer.

        Wealthy media giant NPR is subsidized by our tax dollars and that's wrong. Imagine our tax dollars going to nbc, msnbc, cnn or fox? Crazy. NPR should compete against other media giants without a taxpayer funded safety net. Contact your Congressional reps and ask they defund NPR.

        The name doesn't manner. They are still socialists/communists who are bent on destroying America and have been for quite some time. They are losing their base rapidly. Those remaining don't even understand what is really taking place. The just like the notoriety.

        I'm not sure it ever had a specific meaning. I think Democrats just started preferring it to the term liberal.

        Yet sadly, the world is electing extreme right wing leaders (like Brazil recently) because of failing economies from extreme left wing leaders and many people are drawing back from compromise or common sense. Where are the middle road people that can get things done? smh

        Check @DataProgress Most Americans like progressive policies. Democrats and Republicans alike. We just weren't offered any progressive policies or politicians to support until now.

        I am a liberal Democrat. Over the last few years, "progressive" has become irrevocably corrupted by populist cult nonsense.

        I really only see this as a sign of the widening divide. I fear we are pushing each other away vs finding compromise. I firmly stand behind my state senator @amyklobuchar for fighting that divide and being a voice of compromise/reason. Good to see more women/younger candidates.
