You cannot discount people who claim to be "progressives" by saying that they are not "true" progressives anymore than conservatives can discount the nasty things that conservatism has been used to defend.

Sure you can...
Anyone can call themselves anthing they like...doesnt make it so., and it is 100% legit to make the observation, so long as it can be backed up by example
Funny you should use the example of people who currently call themselves "Conservatives", when in fact thay do not resemble any such thing.
Illustrates my point exactly
