What progress to freedom and liberty, from government intrusion, have the progressives accomplished?
None!. Because they are all about government intrusion into the Bill of Rights, no questions asked.

Nothing in recent history proves this to be true. The fact of the matter is there is absolutely no difference between establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats beyond pandering to a few social wedge issues.

Both parties have grown the government, held endless war, passed laws that enrich the 1% for shipping jobs overseas, done nothing for crime, done nothing for poverty, and so forth.

This is why the real progressives in the DEM party have abandoned Hillary Clinton.
