Reply #55: What's a conservative Democrat? [View All]

[piece sine]

At work, at home, at play, in life I am perceived as a very liberal person. Practical, judicious, balanced and focussed except when I'm high. Come to DU, I'm suddenly perceived by some as a winger so I remain perplexed at the cyber-fliter that obscures how cool piece sine really is.

I wish people here wouldn't mis-identify honest and candid contrarians for "conservative democrats."

BOTH parties have factions; wings; contradictions. Since we can't escape it, should we value strength in numbers? Hello...it's an election.

The Democratic Party is a coalition of groups with far-ranging interests and we glad to have a large number on-board.

But if there are any genuine conservative Democrats reading this, please don't change your party affilation for any reason what-so-ever. You are welcome to belong to -- and vote for -- the Democratic Party. As true progressives, we welcome a wide range of Democrats. (And please note, dear conDems, that DU is about as left wing as it gets without meeting in an AdamsMorgan basement. They bristle when they should brush, but we're all human.
