4. As long as I can remember, the Dem party has never walked

lockstep. There has always been a variance of opinions, but a general humanity that has always bonded the dems. Mostly, dems agree on quite a lot. Social safety nets, civil rights, a woman's right to choose, etc. are but a few issues that we agree on.

I won't walk lockstep just to agree with the party. I am a democrat because my values are mostly the same as most here on DU - it's the humanity that is the banner we fly under.

Things change with time. Just one example - the southern dems a long time ago were bigoted and didn't want civil rights and left the party (good riddance).
