"Progressive" doesn't mean society moving forward. Ironically, it often means the opposite.

progress

What he means is that there are many people who claim to be "Progressive" specifically to evoke the definition you are citing, but whose ideology is actually incredibly reactionary, regressive, or otherwise destructive to the point of being the literal opposite of what they are claiming to be.

For at least some time in the US in the early 20th century, "Progressive" was pretty much a code used by people with socialist leanings who didn't want to refer to themselves as "Socialist", because in the US "Socialist" was/is pretty much a dirty word.

From what I recall, the vast majority of people stick to the insurance they had with their parents. Even when they start paying it for themselves.

Progressive seems to be encouraging them to look into their options. It makes sense.

I am aware there really are assholes lying to themselves saying they're progressive. They're not everyone one though
