It gets repeated constantly by Americans but on social issues Europeans are way more conservative and the ideas your progressives hold considered bat shit insane.
On economics you have a point.
Which US progressive ideas are batshit insane in Europe? Is it immigration and freedom of movement, or universal health insurance, or taxing the rich at a higher rate than the poor, or is it strong environmental regulation? Is it legal abortion, or the right to form a labor union? Those are the main goals of progressives here.
