Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you buy into the entire "liberal agenda?" [View all]
If not, do you keep quiet, or do you freely express your dissenting opinions on Democratic Underground?
It seems to me that a thinking person won't agree with every part of any large agenda. Here at Democratic Underground I've noticed that expressing disagreement is met with hostility and bombardment with negative comments. It makes me wonder if there's a kind of mindless buying-in like that which is so common among conservatives.

I've never seen the 'liberal agenda' explained definitively enough to buy into it 100%

It seems to implicitly place "liberalism" in a bad light. Though that may not have been your intent.

I guess so. It just smacks of right-wing talking points to some people - kind of like "gay agenda."

Does "EXTREME POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" even exist outside of a few random Internet cranks?

I think people object to the word "agenda"..Try Democratic or Progressive principles.

I'm a socialist but I vote Democratic. Some of my positions go further than liberal positions.

I buy into it. My agenda is pretty simple. Don't do to others what you wouldn't do to yourself.
