Read the TOS again. The site is for Democrats of all stripes, not Greens, Libertarians, or revolutionaries. Within those broad parameters, we have quite lively debates.

So those who have voted Democratic for all of their voting lives will not be smeared or put down as being 'DINOs' or 'Republican Lite' because they are more conservative than the Progressives here? Because if people want to purge the party of those who consider themselves conservative or moderate Democrats, then good luck with winning elections.

that legislative body and its agenda. I'd rather have someone elected who votes with other Democrats most of the time as opposed to a Republican who votes with the Democratic Party none of the time. Unfortunately we do have purity police as well as those who revel in being more progressive than thou and they hurt the Democratic Party in the long run.
