(58,785 posts)President Eisenhower was a proud progressive conservative who said so. It's not so respectable among today's crazy right. But all those trumpsters who wanted Trump to put his name on (a new better and cheaper) Obamacare are progressive regarding that, as are all Sanders' left-wingers who wanted Sanders to create a new (better and cheaper) Obamacare without his name, as are all the Democrats who support Obamacare but of course want it eventually better and cheaper.
ALL believers in progressive policy, but different focuses on issues and to different degrees.
Progressivism is the belief that larger groups should act to create advances that small groups and individuals cannot or will not. Including government. Sensible conservatives of course believe government should be progressive to some degree.
Maybe especially read about conservative and liberal personality, though, as it's fascinating, and you'll learn a lot about yourself as well, not just others. Joe would have to have a brain transplant to no longer be conservative. However, his political positions can change with circumstances, whether generationally, with new administrations, or even day to day.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
