The rise of the use "progressive left" instead of just, you know, old fashioned "left" in mainstream politics has coincided with what feels like an insufferable moral purity spiral.
It's as though people on the "progressive" left these days seem to have a list of current hobby horses and you can agree with 99 of them but if on one topic you go "hang on, are you sure about that? Let's talk a bit more about this..." and you're laughably branded 'bigot', 'far-right' or 'fascist'. It devalues the terms and ends up being counterproductive.
