Given some of the positions taken by DUers lately...

Particularly on higher education, universal health care and progressive taxation, I propose that to be fair and balanced, a "Right Column" be added to the DU front page to go along with the "Left Column."

They were always going to vote for a candidate who matches their policy ideas, whether Clinton or any of the other Republicans.

isn't it?

How many supposed Dems have swung SO far to the right of the spectrum and how they have become "it's all about me, screw them".

That is not my idea of what being a Democrat was about.
