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 in 2060 after the Democratic party had split over Augment Rights. In December 2155, the Progress Party and the Union parties voted to disband and merge into the United Progressive Party (UPP).
The Progressives' dominant worldview was social democracy, naturalism, and economic protectionism, while—especially in the rural Heartland—working-class populism was its leading characteristic. The party was founded on a rejection of Postnaturalism, however as of the early 22nd century it had begun to moderate its position.

2080-2132[]
After the Lachman Revolution and the rise of Neo-Jeffersonianism, some members of the Progress party pushed to focus the party on reducing deportations and create government owned co-ops, essentially adopting the Third Way strategy of Democrats prior to the Great Reset.
However, the party stayed mostly focused on maintaining the welfare state and fighting against the growth of corporations that dominated entire economic sectors. This strategy, combined with the party's internal schism over the impotence of a Third Way-like approach, ultimately resulted in its undoing and its eventual slide into political irrelevance.
