I guess I'm an old timer but I consider myself basically a progressive. I like equal rights before the law, a reasonable social safety net, and protections for workers. That type of stuff. But I still support capitalism as expressed through our limited Republic. I'm not a federalist. We have individual states for a reason -- to allow for people with different preferences to address local needs.

To me, the hard left are socialists, communists, and, yes, worse, whatever these crazy liberals pushing their insane agendas are -- the anti-freedom antifas, the people pushing sex changes for children, the white people celebrating and pushing for white suicide.

You're not progressive, you're not hard left at all. You're an old-fashioned 80s Democrat. The kind I wish we had more of in America. It's hard to try to talk to people who think that being right-wing is morally wrong or a hate crime.

Mostly, I disagree with you. But, all in all, I'd be OK with the Reagan-Democrat label.
