A progressive

A person *who says they're a progressive. Let's see how they actually vote before we get too excited.

    I know, but that's not enough.

    We've had 40 years of Democrats making promises of progressive politics and then voting conservative once they're in. Most recently they gave us a great example, with the Democratic Party voting to fund the Iran War.

    I need to see him actually vote for progressive causes. Words mean nothing now.
