What makes a "progressive" candidate

[GreenInNC]

I hear "so and so is a progressive candidate" thrown around on this forum and many others like this forum.

In ya'lls opinion, what attributes or stances make a candidate "progressive"?

1. They are for the people

and not for corporations in what they legislate.

2. Strange that you would find yourself in such a progressive place.

Progressivism has various meanings, and I understand the spirit of your question. Maybe you should begin by noting the meaning(s) that you assign to it.

3. People that don't try to take things back to some idealistic past

that never existed.
