Problematic 20th-century Progressivism, Immigration, and Eugenics

The article gives the impression that 20th-century progressive ideals around immigration and eugenics were not necessarily major planks in the progressive reform agenda. However, the consensus from the academic sources strongly emphasizes that immigration and eugenics were the rule and not the exception, were intimately tied to the movements desire for 'purity' and 'cleanliness', and were widely revered within the movement.

Don’t forget about nativism. Look up Theodore Roosevelt views on hyphenated Americans Zyxrq (talk) 06:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Content removal

I have performed removal of content from the lead section, largely unsourced, and part of it totally not covered anywhere in the page. One and only source what was present in my content removal didn't correspond to the text attributed to that source. Added clearly correlated and sourced content, and everything was explained in my edit summaries, pretty detailed. We here does not make any advocacy, promotion or write what our personal opinions and stances are or how we see some things. Politician Bernie Sanders photo is just moved to the section "In the 21st century" covering his contributing to a progressive shift within the Democratic Party since the 2010's, and that is that century. And whole progressivism in the United States is much older and not for that century just, so his photo is not wide and does not cover whole movement and whole history of it.

New heading

Progressivism in the United States is a political philosophy and reform movement. Historically in the United States it generally expressed itself with both right-wing and left-wing politics, such as social democracy, progressive conservatism, social justice new nationalism, and even eugenics.

The lead conflates four separate movements and assumes a coherent ideology, which is misleading. TFD (talk) 15:19, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I pasificly wrote it to show progressivism isn’t a coherent ideology and based on what the article says itself. The four separate movements are historical and modern examples of what progressives supported. I don’t see how that is misleading. Could you elaborate. Also if you have any ideas on how to improve what I wrote please share. Zyxrq (talk) 16:02, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
