Progress means you aren't there yet, you always have further to go. "Progressive" isn't just a label of what their views are, but a value judgement that their views are best. This is what they call themselves.
So the best liberal is the most extreme liberal; "far left" for a liberal is the center and the farther left you are the closer to "best liberal" you are. It's a total inversion of normal reality just like their other views.
