A political ideology centered around the idea of social, economic, and
technological progress.
The traditional Progressive platform usually involves some of the following:
-Single-payer healthcare (especially in the
United States)
-Separation of Church and State
-Responsible Gun Regulation (some more-extreme
Progressives are anti-gun, but not all of them are)
-Responsible Immigration Reforms (Despite the stereotype, a lot of Progressives do not want open borders)
-More public funding for education, this may also include making public college tuition-free
-More funding for infrastructure
-More funding for science and space
exploration
-More funding for social programs
-Less funding for defense and a restructuring of the military to be more defense-oriented and less imperialistic
-The protection of the rights of women, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, people of other faiths or no religion, etc
-Reforms to the political and electoral system to address fraud and corruption.
Not all progressives are screeching SJWs who hate white men, a lot of us are actually quite level-headed and just want a better society.
