Progressives are leftists in America where the left to right spectrum spans from liberals on one end to liberals on the other end. In reality, they are not leftists because they are not explicitly anti-capitalist. Capitalism is a right wing economic model and even if you're not "pro-corporate" if all you want is a better managed right wing economic system, you're a liberal.
