I think that the atmosphere at DU shifted in 2016, and that some old divisions have re-surfaced. I'm a registered member of the Democratic Party, and have been all of my adult life. At the same time, I identify as a member of the Democratic Left, as a progressive rather than a liberal. In "real" life, that creates no tensions between me and my liberal family members, friends, and associates. Plenty of heated debates, but no hard feelings. On the internet, those differences can more easily take on another dynamic. Obviously, I have played a role in how that has impacted the attention, and lack thereof, my OPs get here today.

It's fine that my OP is only read by a few folks here.
