Reply #75: "What constitutes a Democrat on DU"

[TwilightZone]

What I find interesting is how many people insist that *everyone* at DU is a Democrat, and everyone on DU is *their* kind of Democrat. I've seen that claim at least half a dozen times in the past couple weeks. I generally respond that not everyone is a (D), and many third-party posters would probably be offended by the accusation. :)

At the same time, the definition of "Democrat" by many on DU is "exactly what I believe, no exceptions." So, as I jokingly said on another thread, that means that there is only one Democrat on DU: me!

Re: non-DU Democrats - many of them are/were Nader supporters. Many of them aren't, though, and I often have difficulty figuring out what exactly the agenda is supposed to be. I often wonder why the people who profess that all Dems are spineless, sell-out, corporatist whores even bother coming to DU. Maybe they just enjoy conflict.

Hell, never mind them. I don't even know why *I* keep coming back.
