What are your true feelings about supporting the Democratic Party of today? [View all] Douglas Carpenter Mar 2014 OP

As a reporter I do not support any national party nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #1

This is a Democratic website BainsBane Mar 2014 #25

Are you saying reporters cannot post here, or are you saying that reporters should be biased? sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #35

Maybe this is the reason why Independants are growing in number cprise Mar 2014 #38

Independents are growing in number because DU is a Democratic website? BainsBane Mar 2014 #43

'Americans More Likely to Identify as Independents Than D or R' -Gallup Jan. 2014 cprise Mar 2014 #48

Yet you just admitted it in the post above. BainsBane Mar 2014 #66

Admit what? That I was accused repeatedly? Katashi_itto Mar 2014 #67

That you weren't voting because of your views of women BainsBane Mar 2014 #68

Lol! Again its this idea that I arrived at this simply because of some nonsense posted online Katashi_itto Mar 2014 #72

That is not how you began this discussion BainsBane Mar 2014 #131

Lol! Katashi_itto Mar 2014 #132
