Being anything other than progressive at this point comes off as cowardly and complacent tbh. If you're not left wing, then you're not fighting.

    Being progressive in the U.S. largely means moving towards what is centrist by European standards anyhow.

    In reality, there are various definitions of "progressive". Yours is yours, agreed on by millions, but millions of other people use different definitions.

    Each person's views will be slightly different, but 'progressive' in the context of American politics generally implies a platform that includes a support for universal healthcare, free college tuition, universal childcare, LGBTQ+ rights, being pro-immigrant, and anti-billionaire, among other unifying issues. Foreign policy preferences are more likely to vary, but being pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine are to be generally expected.
