actually I am both as they are quite closely intertwined when it comes to US politics, however it should be noted that on DU's home page there is a section called "The Left Column"

it always surprises me to see the liberal, leftist, progressive hairsplitting and splintering going on IMO it smacks as a divide and conquer type of tactic

eta I am sure that Rubin would be a Democrat just exactly like Dershowitz was especially in the 2010 election cycle
