"Should anyone who doesn't agree with the liberal position any of those be thrown off DU? Should they not be able to consider themselves a Democrat or Liberal or Progressive? In talking with Democrats around the country, I frequently encounter individual Democrats who disagree with the Liberal position on one or two of these issues. The most frequent disagreements I have is about unions. The Repugs have definitely done a masterful propaganda job on unions."
...the problem. You seem to be talking about a specific group among liberals and progressives. Clearly, you don't see your disagreement on unions as the same as the RW's anti-union position ("propaganda"
.
I purposefully didn't use the word Democrat. I mean these as core issues that are embraced across the left spectrum.
Like I said: among those who want to address these issues, there are disagreements about how to structure policy, but simply rejecting the premise is RW.
You could debate a fix to Social Security on multiple levels, and none of them has to involve cutting or privatizing it.
