Well, ok, that's perfectly fair, and if you want to make statements about what you personally perceive about progressives, then that's one thing, but it seemed like you were arguing fairly hard that this is "well-known" to be a fundamental part of progressivism, which is why you got some push-back. If you're just offering your personal opinion, I'll go ahead and revise my original response to, "nuh-uh." :)

Edit: would you have accepted a suggestion of changing "progressives" to "partisans" instead of changing "progressives" to "people"? That seems pretty fair to me.
