(24,780 posts)(March 01) to be exact. As you know, the D in DU stands for Democratic (Party). All here were Democrats because we had nothing else at the time.
And as you know, I'm not a progressive, never will be. I've been called a corporatist (and your point is...?). and other things much worse. Like a great many here I don't always agree with progressive positions. I used to occasionally get PM's from people who agree with what I've said that's not popular with progressives but they don't want to put up with the pissyness and shittyness they'll get with their comment. You and I have talked and agree to disagree and I respect you for that. But calling DU a progressive site is wrong. It's not now nor was it in the beginning and shouldn't be now. DU has always been open to any Democrat.
But ban the RW trolls with their RW talking points presented as just another Dem opinion. OTOH. I don't much care for what is said in the RKBA forum, but I've got friends that own guns and they're good Democrats. I own a few shotguns, but no handguns. To each his own
I also have the women's forums trashed because I just don't want to hear it no matter how well intentioned they are. But to each his own.
So no, Skinner does not to call a fatwa. Just patrol the place BAU and we'll all be fine, as usual.
