Progressives envision a future better than the present; that's progress. That means leaving the world with clean water and air, tall trees and glaciers for our children. It means treating all people justly and with respect, which means food, shelter, health care, security, and freedom. It means cooperating and collaborating, acknowledging differences and setting them aside to ensure peace. It means having a 'can do' attitude, overcoming hurdles without pushing the problem on to the next person, and realizing a little sacrifice, a little less selfishness, is tremendously rewarding. The reward in knowing you've helped make progress to a better, happier, cleaner, safer world. That's progressive.
