Progressives believe in making sure all people are able to get the tools they need to succeed and live the best lives possible. Progressives look forward, not backward. Rather than longing for 'the way things used to be,' progressives see the way things *could* be, and work to make those dreams a reality. Progressives support education, science, technology, and innovation in the quest to make the world better, for the physical health of the planet *and* its inhabitants. For Progressives, terms like 'equal opportunity' and 'fair play' are rules to live by, not marketing slogans.
