Default 'The Hill' actually says it well


"Maybe the intent of progressive Democrats is good. Maybe it isn’t. However, what is most concerning
about progressive ideology is that it maintains the belief that ultimate good comes from a centrally
planned state or in essence the government. Similar to socialism, progressivism advocates for a
government built on compulsory force.

The government cannot possibly know the needs of every single person today, so that the needs of the
individual are met for tomorrow. Any more than a socialist system knows how much of a product to
produce. The two are arguably one in the same.

One of the biggest problems with progressivism is that they advocate the importance of a centralized
nurturing state with a moral goal, but that has never been the role of government. Government, as
advocated by progressives, is impossible because it is impossible for a government to know exactly
what each individual need or how much of it that they need.

Democrats foolishly believed that college-educated Republicans would vote for a progressive Democrat
over a Republican because of their disdain for President Trump and his many mishaps. The unknown Jon
Ossoff ran against the known Karen Handel, who once chaired Fulton County Board of Commissioners
from 2003 to 2006. She was then elected and served as Georgia’s secretary of state from 2007 to
2010."
