What US parties do you consider to be progressive?
I am compiling a list of links to their homepages for my site and want to be sure I don't miss any. (Probably won't include the Libertarians since I consider their free market ideals to be harmful.)

Greens
Socialists
Natural Law?
DNC

Thanks for your input!

1. The Democrats usually have an exceedingly progressive platform
that they don't actually adhere to.

The Wisconsin state party platform is quite progressive -- single-payer health care, absolute gender, racial and sexual-orientation equality, very anti-war....but then even at the state level, we elect Democrats who believe in none of these things. It's sad.

Like what we got now on crack.
