MODERATORS
I didn't define it, I described it in its current form, though I definitely see how my phrasing is a bit poor. The definition is in the linked article. Almost always liberals DO want the status quo, because the status quo is capitalism. Progressives join the Democrats because where the hell else are they going to go?
It's important to point out though that when conservatives attack "liberals," they are actually attacking progressives. They see progressives joining their opponents and use to to attack both at the same time.
When conservatives attack “liberals,” they’re attacking everyone left of hunting unhoused people for sport.
