So you gotta ask yourself why not left if the right follows there ideals???
Oh, I agree with you. The right doesn't offer anything unique in the sense of being progressive. The point is there is no longer any point in talking about a distinct progressive left. There is just the left.

Why? Because the left won. Everyone became progressive. Often when parties are too successful, they remove the need for their own existence. Kind of like the recent difficulties facing the Social Democracts in Sweden. They were so successful from all those years in power that every party adopted their core policies, and it made them redundant.

That's kind of like what's happened with progressiveness and the left.
