I've known about democratic underground for a long time now. Never joined the forum until now. Alex Bennett was awesome. Check yourselves because real lefties would like his show (which I signed up on his livestream account yesterday). He called out hypocrisy of the liberals just the same as the crazy right wingers. But when you get down to it, he fought the good fight. He railed like crazy when Obama took single payer off the table, and pulled his hair out when war became co-opted into the democratic base..you all woulda loved the way he handled neocons btw. Lets all just pretend we care about the working man and forget kicking him when he's down. Love the site and I think I'm gonna look around a bit
