That is not a definition by any means, of a Democrat.
Your attempt at a 'Purity Test' needs something more substantial than supporting one politician and opposing one foreign leader. Interesting though, that that is the standard for being a Democrat, at least in your opinion.
I am a Democrat because the Dem Party is the Party of the People, the Working Class, the Poor, that pushes for rights for minorities, fights bigotry and discrimination and supports equality for all Americans.
Politicians and world leaders come and go. And the lives of millions of people, present and future generations, seem a bit more important than which politician is your fave and which world leader is the enemy. Enemies to me are those who undermine OUR democracy which no foreign leader has the power to do. Only WE can do that.
Thanks for the response. I didn't know that, that to be a 'Pure' Dem, those were the only two requirements.
