moniker

You know what I don't get? How is "progressive" a political label? Doesn't "progressive" mean "moving forward?" Don't all people want to progress? Don't all political groups want their country to progress? Granted, we might have different ways of moving our society forwards, and we might have different ideas about what moving forwards looks like, but isn't the goal for everyone to advance? Wouldn't it be weird if we had a party called the "regressives?" Every time I hear the far left labeled, it makes me think of the far right using abacuses and loading up mules to go to market.
