    A progressive who stays home on Election Day — or backs Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, or No Labels — is voting for Donald Trump.

      A bit pedantic, but communism is considered to be progressive. Progressive doesn’t mean liberal, just that you want to progress away from the current status quo. Reactionaries or conservatives want to maintain the current status quo, or revitalize a previous status quo.
