Progressive v. Liberal?

[OrwellwasRight]

11. You will find that it is important to learn

what words are acceptable v. offensive and to do your best to avoid using the words that offend. Even if you are not meaning to offend, part of our community standards include taking the feelings of others into account rather than fighting for the right to continue to use words that hurt others. Usually, just a quick apology can clear things up.

As to liberal v. progressive, i've never heard progressive used to mean incremental change or moving to the right. I'm sure those on the right may think they are making progress when they undo the New Deal, that's more of a personal use than a political use.

And I would say that "progressive" without the Democrat at the end can be inclusive of greens, socialists, independents, etc., whereas Progressive Democrats is less inclusive, but totally appropriate for DU.
