Has Anyone Noticed The Number Of Longtime/Newtime DUer's Leaving DU ???

73. what I notice is that there are maybe a dozen people here who are actually involved in primary

politics and the rest just talk about it.

I also notice that there are many posters on DU who very actively demand that they are 'the left' whom I see as traditionalists, socially conservative, angry at each and every minority which dares ask for equal treatment under the law-when minorities seek that which a 'DU leftist' was born with and takes for granted, the 'DU leftist' calls that 'identity politics' or 'a wedge issue' or they claim that equality is 'just a bone they toss to please you'. Those people are conservatives. They might have a Marxist lexicon woven into their rants against minorities, but when you are ranting against those who seek equality, you favor the status quo, the traditional, the orthodox and obviously those who want to retain rights others do not have while mocking those who want them are self interested, seeking to retain advantage, power and financial hegemony.
If it walks like a conservative, talks like a conservative, and promotes conservatives, it's probably a conservative even if it keeps quacking that it's 'the left'. Conservatives, of course, are casually dishonest. 'I'm on the left' they say 'and equality for minorities is very bad, we need to do as the Pope says.'
