And also the argument appears to be that we should accept progressive politicians as the arbiters of morality. Because they have the best of intentions, or so I'm told, even if the practical results of their policies are uniformly disastrous.

Is there going to be a no-true-scotsman if I ask about the last time the US had a budget surplus (4 in a row iirc)?

Highest average rankings over decades on nearly every common measure of quality of life going to.. right, the Scandinavian countries who happen to have had the most progressive governments over the same timespan.

Uniformly disastrous, should very much have followed the leads of politicians like Russia's. A prime example of the polar opposite of progressive.
