The whole point of progressive politics is just that; progress. You look at society, you identify problems, and you propose improvements. Anger at reality is innately part of the deal.
The problem comes when a progressive fails to take into account whether that problem is something that actually can be fixed, or whether their proposed solution will negative impacts elsewhere.
When it comes to inequality, their giant blindspot is of course a refusal to see that people literally aren't equal.
"Progress" toward what? Progressivism is the intentionally vague self-label of Utopianists. The entire notion is a pleasant sounding and entirely stupid dream. Everything is justified behind the idea of "future more good" while deliberately not defining 'good' and packaging every policy in a veneer of emotional reasoning and blind positivity.
The inescapable consequence of this is a derision of "standards" and unwillingness to measure their own progress by examining the real impact of the policies they've enacted. It never matters that they dreamed up and executed the most hellish programs with the most destructive outcomes imaginable (rivaling anything you could have invented that was intended to be that damaging). It never matters because they "meant well" at the time.
If only. Most of them skipped over the 'identify problems' step and decided to fabricate problems instead.
