No need to search as it is in your own leanings. Identity politics is for those who latch onto talking points and support any outrage their party openly runs on. Progressive liberal is that small percentage that has never had the power much as fundamental Christians are on the fringe. Most people live in the middle and lean left or right or both ways depending on the issue. As a lifetime classic moderate liberal it can be summed up by fiscal conservative/social liberal (FCSL) concepts that one either strongly believes in or doesn't. You can't be a social liberal and silently sit back or reinforce suffering in others. It is just not possible. You can't back sending Dreamers to Mexico when they were raised in America and often can't even speak Spanish. You can't allow racism or any ism. Finally it is impossible to buy into shrinking and diminishing our country in the global arena to the point we are an Island. The candidate I vote for in any election is the opposite and party doesn't matter as the most socially liberal candidate gets my vote. In the past Republican Orrin Hatch pushed the Dreamer Act. President Bush also pushed for it. Most Democratic candidates consistently stand for those principles so there you go...you know the answer in each election if you focus on the issues and not on the candidate selling impossible wet dreams. Only you know if you want America to constrict and go backwards and become a crueler version of the American Dream. Only you know if we should hand over the Statue of Liberty to Canada who has currently earned the right to display her words.
