When politicians run on a progressive platform, institute progressive policies on crime (no bail, avoid prison, no punishment for QOL crime) and then crime goes nuts, I'd think twice about voting for progressive policies too.
But I think your point is "no true progressive" - if the policy didn't work, then it's not progressive because progressive policies always work.
