Answer: I guess, when you say your progressive, what is it about you that makes you progressive. It’s not necessarily specific questions, because I’m not trying to eliminate one other thing, it could be any number of things, a person calling themselves progressive.
Edwin: How would you define the term progressive values?
Answer: What does progressive mean to you? It seems to be different things to different people. To me, I think the idea behind is we want to keep expanding the net, so we get whose included, whose moving up with the rest of society and who belongs to this larger group. And the idea is that we are all moving up together, and we are gathering people.
And I think anybody who calls themselves a progressive probably has an idea like that in mind. It’s just that I guess to me that’s really general, so it doesn’t tell me enough, that I feel like I know a lot.
