I was just arguing there is not definition to describe what it takes to be a progressive. However, progressive and moderate do not conflict in any way. I do not care to type up something in response, because I don't think you're demonstrated interest in trying to take in another opinion, so I'll post this write-up that explains my position.

If you want to elaborate on your side, feel free to do so.
Further, a definition for a moderate is as follows:
Quote:
a moderate is an individual who is not extreme, partisan, nor radical.

That has nothing to do with political stances and simply has to do with the idea of incrementalism, rather than being left or right (which is what the progressive/conservative ideologies relate to). However, my point still stands that there is no defining idea of what it takes to be rightfully considered a progressive. That doesn't change the fact that moderatism and progressivism are entirely independent ideologies.
