answer:Here’s my little history with the terms. I used liberal up until Clinton. It then seemed that liberal had been co-opted and was associated with all kinds of establishment horseshit that I found decidedly regressive. So, I started using progressive. For the past 5 years or so, I have – and others I know – tried to take back the term. I will use both now. Really though – neither of these terms will buy you much. You still have to do a ton of elaborating to make sure your positions are clear. So sure. I’m liberal, progressive, as well as feminist, socialist, etc.
