It really, extremely depends on how you define "progressive" and then you get to the left Vs right narrative which inspired this article.

To oversimplify greatly to the point of banality, if rich person A says "I'll be on the left" and rich person B says "I'll be on the right", and both actively pump money into their respective campaigns, what do they have in common?

No true Scotsman right?
It's more like it's closer to the baser parts of human nature to put self-interest first. We might talk "left or right" till the cows come home but I'm fairly certain that when push comes to shove, we'll find more important things to discuss.
