Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Progressive''' is new term that most [[politician|politicians]] who considered themselves to be [[liberal]] have given themselves.  The term came about short before the [[2006 elections]].  It implemented to help distance politicians, mainly [[Democrats]], for the negative history associated with various members of the party at that time.  It also was meant to create a belief that [[conservatives]] were not able to think of a progressive future for the [[United States]].{{circular}}

While the term has been popular among the [[media]], most of the population still refers to the two major philosophies as [[conservative]] and liberal.  The majority opinion of this event is because the current population has a set history with these two titles.  Also its easier to visualization the contrasts between conservative and liberal instead of conservative and progressive.
