Okay- the line I always hear is that we're all progressives and agree on most core values, but if that's not what you mean apologies.

I'd posit that any who id as progressive (having "prog" values) & also take w/e action they feel best supports those values, is progressive

No. We need to know "what are progressive values and does this person have them". I'm also fine with my being the one who isn't progressive.

Are we talking about individuals or politicians here? Bc I think I'm talking abt former & you the latter

I'm talking about both, but certainly including the former. Are politicians not individuals with values?

Obviously there are limitations & gray areas. Doubtful anyone who voted Trump could be considered "progressive" for (extreme) example

Well, at least we agree that "progressive" is an objective enough that a Trump voter can't be one.

If Susan Collins called herself progressive, would that make her progressive?

*I* wouldn't, but if person who called themselves progressive voted for her, I wouldn't say it'd auto-revoke their "prog badge", depending

Sure, I'm with you so far. And the same is absolutely true, imo, for a person in a swing state grudgingly voting for Clinton.

But Clinton herself & people who strongly supported her either aren't prog or I need a new word to make clear- we're not politically close.

I'm not on the verge of voting for a candidate like Clinton. A few small tweaks aren't a compromise I can accept.
