They're farther left than even strong-liberal Democrats like me, yet not radical to the point that extremism takes over their thinking. It may be that some are actually just far-left liberal, again like me, but wanting more change than the Democrats will commit to, and not radical in personality at all.

In any case, what they need is a closed, by-invitation site, because the arsonists and lost-down-the-rabbit-hole crowd will show up wherever they are otherwise.

Btw, there is a closed Socialist Democrat, or Democratic Socialist, site that is closed. I tried to join to see who they were and what they believed (genuinely interested), but they wouldn't have me. , but overall that's probably a positive sign. Might be worth checking out for some for whom JPR is not the answer.
