I am, first of all, not sure we all agree on the definition of the word.

Some time ago, I followed a link to Daily Kos posted by a member here. I understand now why DU, or indeed no other single source, can be all things to all Democrats. We are a diverse group who resist being herded into a single pen.

If I can't say it better, it is a pleasure to share what I think is a reflection of diversity and progressive values. After all, it is just an opinion.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s primary campaign against Joe Crowley had earned a little bit of coverage, but her press team couldn’t find any news outlet willing to premiere her new campaign ad. “They were like, ‘no, no, no,’ so I was like, alright, I’m just going to put it on Twitter,” the 28-year-old political organizer tells Progressives Everywhere. “Thankfully it turned out really well.”

I do read JPR and Caucus 99 percent along with many other blogs. You are not kidding, please explain, I had no idea that JPR and Daily Kos were bed fellows?

It was meant as a joke. That's why I wrote, "Just kidding."

Sorry it wasn't funny.
