"progressive" is a meaningless marketing term intended to fool Leftists into voting for Liberals.

There were actually more Democrats in the House and Senate than have actually been certified so far in this Blue Wave, and (briefly) a filibuster proof Supermajority in the Senate.

And just like we'll see them do again over the next two years, they whined and hid behind procedure and started all negotiations with the GOP from an already compromised position and generally helped the country continue slouching rightward so efficiently that a naked fascist started getting traction in the next GOP primary.
