Comment on Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now?

In no country in the world is the progressive party the main attractor of wealth. Progress means change that will lessen the comparative advantage of the wealthy.

  I think it’s extremely arguable whether Gavin Newsom is a progressive or not. Actually I don’t, he isn’t.

    No, but Progressives are in power. We’re not a dictatorship. The one person in the chief executive office is not the entire government.

    Tired of this whole “America is conservative to the rest of the world” thing. No, it is conservative compared to Europe, specifically. I don’t mind making the comparison. But the arrogance of equating Europe with “the world” frustrates me.
    
    California is extremely progressive compared to Russia, Saudi Arabia, India…just not, specifically, to western Europe.
    
    Stop with the Eurocentrism.
