Progressive in that they are pro-life, fine with gay marriage, and pay lip service to environmental concerns.

They are not going to be progressive in the sense of forwarding pro-social, anti-corporate policies.

You seem to be taking within the narrowly defined USA Overton window.

Certainly not anti-corporate, but I don't see why they wouldn't be pro-social. They don't want to be the ones paying for those policies, but every American well educated and in good health would certainly profit their enterprises. It's just that it appears too expensive to be worth the profit to them.
