The terms Conservative and Progressive are compatible. I am a
Democrat in that I vote in the Democratic primaries and usually vote for
Democrat nominees in the general elections. I consider myself a conservative Progressive
which you might call a moderate Progressive or a moderate Democrat or a Left of
Center Democrat. I am happy that Joe Biden was elected president because he
aligns most closely with my views. He supports Progressive Ideas where they are
really necessary but is willing to listen to Conservative Republicans and compromise where it is necessary to move forward. I believe that Kamala Harris is
also a Conservative Progressive although perhaps slightly heavier on the Progressive.
I believe Barak Obama is also a conservative Progressive. His opponents and many
supporters assumed he was Progressive without the conservative before he was
elected President, but if one had looked at his past actions and writings one
could see that he was actually a conservative Progressive. I do not consider
the extreme Right to be conservative. There is nothing conservative about Donald
Trump or Mitch McConnell and his radical right Republicans in the Senate. I
hope that Jon Ossoff and Rev. Warnock win in the Georgia senator election in January
which will enhance Biden’s ability to clean up the mess that Trump will leave behind
when he leaves office. Biden will bring sanity, honesty, competence, and conservative
Progress to American government which has already been shown in his choices presented
for his Cabinet.
By the way, if you live in Georgia, remember to vote for Jon Ossoff and Reverend Warnock in the run-off election for senators.
