You are absolutely right in that no movement can be 100% correct. I call myself a Progressive because of the leanings of my church - Quaker. We are an activist people, non-violent but activist. It dates to before the Civil War and then during the Civil War, Quakers helped slaves from the South run away and find new lives in the North or in Canada. During the Vietnam War, Quakers were protestors and were helpful in getting the US out of Vietnam. We did serve when called. I was drafted and went to Vietnam as a medic but never did carry a weapon.
The Urban Dictionary is used for humor, I believe, and to egg others on. I figured you were doing some of that and shrugged it off.
Do not discount the effect that Progressives or Liberals will have on this election. There are many of us out there and we include the factions not normally found in the Republican Party. It is not likely that these factions will join the Republicans and there will be some Republicans coming over to our side when topics such as women's rights and minority rights are discussed more openly.
