The fact that political groups redefine words however and whenever they like is funny but it does produce some very weird results. At Bluesky the term "progressive" is often hilarious. It could actually mean somebody to the right of Bernie. And it also goes all the way to somebody who is basically a republican but says they are now a democrat and they don't have a single progressive viewpoint other than a tepid endorsement of public transit.
if Bluesky calls someone progressive there's an even chance they're a lincoln project lib. Their only criteria is "says trump bad"
