(16,380 posts)Being a Democrat for me is almost as natural as being right handed. Heck I was at the Cedar Rapids airport heckling Spiro Agnew back in 1970 or so, at the ripe old age of 16.
Now of course the internets and discussion boards weren't even a twinkle in anyone's eyes at that point but I'll tell you something. No discussion board, no sniping, NOTHING would have ever steered me even close to being a Republican. Nothing.
I get it that you might not like sniping. Sometimes it bugs the shite out of me. So I go garden. Or take a walk.
So again respectfully, anyone that would let the griping and bickering on DU turn them into a batshit crazy Republican was never close to being a Democrat in the first place. Please understand I am very happy you became a liberal. But I come from a very different place.
