Naturally, when one makes progressive steps, there may be some who see it as a betrayal of their goals and interests.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of progressives really believe that if we can turn out one more white paper with bullet points about how to fix Problem X, we can fix it. But that's not primarily the way you reach people or move them. You reach the heart first.
I consider myself a progressive. I have a passion for people who work. To me, this is about forward looking versus backward looking. Ideological gradations are the wrong way to look at it.
Deep down, everybody wants to do what they want to be doing. They just feel that they can't.
Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, they never get around to what they want to do.
If you are going to be progressive, then you have to make progress. And that sometimes depends on breaking a few legs.
Motivations are too tangled and complex.
The path of progress cuts through the four-way intersection of the moral, medical, religious and political - and whichever way you turn, you are likely to run over someone's deeply held beliefs.

Lots of people let it go by and never accomplish what they want. I just wanted to see what I could do.
If anything's progressive, then we make progress.
