A progressive is a person, not bound by conventional party thinking. They are people who get their news from various sources and base their opinions upon their own common sense and instincts about what is right and wrong, not following traditional Democratic or Republican Dogma. They know that no one is right all the time and that we all need to work together to find the best solution to all of our issues. I personally find that Progressives are a very diverse group of positive people, who are motivated to help make the world a better place.
