... a reply that this place is (paraphrasing) a pro-Democratic site, not a pro-liberal one.

I didn't find much out there that appealed to me, to be honest. Some of the "liberal" sites didn't seem moderated at all and were full of raging racists, with others wasting their time debating them. Some sites simply didn't have much action, with long breaks between new posts.

Then I decided this place is probably the best for me... sort of like how I vote for politicians despite never fully agreeing with their ideas.
