Doing little or nothing would be an improvement to what they currently do.

When those people gain any power, they actually enact laws and policies to make the problems worse (housing, jail conditions, mental health, homelessness, education, .....)

It's a disgrace to call those people progressive. They only want the appearance of being progressive. In reality, they are setting our society backwards.

That's why I call them fake-progressives and put "progressive" between quotes when referring to them.
