A Progressive is someone who looks for solutions rather than just causes to blame. Someone who cares more about getting everyone to a better place than getting themselves to a better place. Being Progressive means looking “outside of the box”; or at the very least not fueling a flawed fire with more of the same mistakes. Anyone should be able to admit when they are wrong but a Progressive can admit it, examine it and build on it when they make their next move. And last but not least a Progressive acts this way because they feel it’s the right way to be.
