It doesn't matter that their definition is probably way too narrow, way too small, and leaves out a PLETHORA of issues that are critically important to progressives of ALL stripes. These same folks think that screaming solely about Wall Street and blathering "WE aRe the 99%!11" covers all things liberal, and if anyone begs to differ, then they are bringing up unimportant "distractions" that take away from the "REAL" issues.
I have seen post after post after post, including from DU "Darlings," about how the people questioning Bernie and daring to talk about racism right now "aren't really progressives." Well, they probably aren't "progressives" according to these people's very narrow, very insular and very meaningless definition of the word. And I have NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER that they are perfectly fine with that. Maybe even thrilled.
