The Progress Party, commonly called the Progressive Party, and colloquially known as the Progressives, was one of the major contemporary political parties in the United States and its Associated states. Tracing its origins back to the Democratic Party, the Progress Party was founded around 2028, a result of the constitutional reforms of that era. There were 7 Progressive presidents, the first being Dylan J. Price, who served from 2029 to 2037; the most recent was Miriam Weinstein, who served from 2121 to 2129. In December 2155, the Progress Party and the Union parties voted to disband and merge into the United Republican Party.
The Progressive's' dominant worldview was social liberalism, naturalism, and economic nationalism, while—especially in the rural Heartland—populism was its leading characteristic. After the election of 2060 the party saw an ideological shift toward Postnaturalism and adopting more contemporary liberal social views in opposition to the Conservative-Green Alliance.
History
The Progress Party traces its origins to the inspiration of the New Deal Coalition of the Democratic Party, organized by Franklin Roosevelt. Organizationally, the modern Progress Party truly arose in the 2020s, with the election of Dylan J. Price.
2028-2080
The Progress Party evolved from a rejection of the Third Way movement of the Democratic Party organized by Bill and Hillary Clinton in opposition to the Republican party of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. The Third Way movement within the Democratic Party favored a marrying of liberal and conservative ideals to incrementally push the country more to the left, and came to power in the election of 1992. The Third Way particularly emphasized adopting Reagan-era principles of free trade and globalization, which while an overall economic benefit, disproportionately hurt working class Americans who often lost their jobs to modernization, international competition, and outsourcing.
By the Great Recession rural and industrial Americans were facing hardshps that many scholars attributed to the impact of globalization and Third Way politics. Deflation had left rural communities unable to afford homes, and the jobs that were available to them if they lost their jobs in manufacturing or agriculture could not help them afford a middle-class standard of living. By 2016, the number one cause of death for white men over 40 was suicide, and the opium epidemic had left rural communities devastated. "Economic anxiety" thus led to a split in the major parties that contributed to the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders' primary challenge to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Economic nationalism was a central theme to both Sanders and Trump's campaigns, and while Sanders lost the primary by a sizable margin, Trump's victory was seen as a consequence of the Democrats abandoning the working class. Trump lost the popular vote by the largest margin since Ruthofurd B. Hayes, but his electoral victory ultimately hinged on several Midwestern states that hadn't voted Republican since 1988 flipping to Trump.
The Democratic party united in opposition to the Trump administration to form a winning coalition for the 2020 Presidential election, but still had its own internal factions, primarily along nationalist and internationalist lines, with the nationalists who formed around Dylan J. Price and Elizabeth Warren, became the modern Progress Party.
The true origin of the Progress party lie in the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections, where a number of Warren Democrats defected from the Democratic Caucus and set up the new Progressive Caucus in Congress. From the new caucus these Democratic members of Congress and later the Senate coordinated to push for a series of progressive programs championed by the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016, and the Warren campaign in 2020, almost all of which were opposed by President Booker. The actions of Congressional and Senate Progressive Democrats, gained notoriety as the states began to pass similar policies that were to the left of the Booker administration and the platform of the DNC. In 2026, progressive Democratic leaders coordinated with student groups, unions, environmental groups, and other activists to organize a special convention in Philadelphia to draft a series of amendments to the Constitution in 2027. These amendments, after ratification, would eliminate the electoral college and first-past-the-post system that allowed Dylan Price to win the presidency in 2028, as well as an amendment replacing gerrymandering with an algorithmic process for redistricting.
