In reply to the discussion: Isn't it weird how Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren support Obama [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)105. Thanks Nancy. And I agree with every word that you've written
But I don't know what so many of the people around here are. "Liberal" is certainly not the word I would use to describe them though I couldn't agree more with the "illogical" and "destructive" comments in your post.
I don't think people that immediately crap over every thing this president does, pine for the "Good Old Days" when people of color and women were often viciously subjugated, and openly long for chaos under the pretense that America will be "rebuilt" after it's been destroyed can in any way shape or form be considered liberals. A poster here used the term "nihilists of the left" and alot of folks agreed with him.

I don't think Democrats are sowing division or are afflicted with ODS. Both would be illogical.

I think it is interesting that because one is in a fanbase, they assume everyone else is too.
