Depends on who the "regressives" are. Democrats have embraced socialism. Socialism is regressive. Socialism in itself does not work. Therefore, it is more than likely that Democrats are wrong.

On the other hand, if you consider the older Republicans to be conservative, then being "regressive" is what made this country the best in the world. In this case, if being "regressive" is being conservative, then these "regressives" are RIGHT.

This algorithm works.
