then I'll call her a progressive. Saying yes to LGBT and equal pay for women does not make you a progressive...that's the easy part. Saying yes to paid maternity leave, $15 m wage, cancel all trade policies and bring factories back home through taxes and tariffs, regulate wall street banks, add a transaction tax, tax on carbon. start ending our dependence on fossil fuel and rely on renewable energy, rebuild infrastructure, Medicare for all while increasing SS benefits. Bring back the corporate death penalty, get the money out of politics and overturn Citizens United. Take your pick Hillary of at least 10
NOW you're a progressive and a populist bringing to the American people what they claim they want when polled.
