In reply to the discussion: Goodbye DU [View all]LonePirate
(13,414 posts)Pretty much all of DU supports progressive ideals and goals. We don't advocate regressive or right wing views here. There might be on occasional detail or two people view differently but it's much like chocolate chip cookie recipes. There are plenty of great recipes out there and some people think their recipe is the best. Yet at the end of the day, we all want a good cookie. Progressive ideals are welcomed, praised and supported here at DU. Every issue cited by the OP is something pretty much everyone here at DU except the nihilists want. DU does not demonize progressives or progressive ideals. To think otherwise is to believe in some cartoon version of DU, to paraphrase Bill Clinton. I simply don't understand where this persecution complex comes from as there is nothing here to support it.
