What kind of Democrat do you identify with?

[Horse with no Name]

This is a hit and run poll--I have a meeting shortly and will be back to discuss.

On edit, let me add this. I consider myself a progressive liberal. I believe in choice, no wars, health insurance for all, education for all, free daycare, food stamps, and immigration amnesty.
So--when I define Liberal/Progressive...this is where MY head is at.:)

[SDuderstadt]

1. Progressive/liberal...

here.

Make that PROUD progressive/liberal.

[BlueIris]

2. Proud member of what Tom DeLay once called: "The X-Files wing of the Democratic Party."

Heh.

I voted Fringe. I don't think my perspectives are that marginalized, but I sure don't get any support for them here.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. Centrist is just another word for DINO

[SDuderstadt]

5. Sorry...

that is bullshit.

[white_wolf]

10. Truer words have never been spoken.

They should just call themselves republicans and be honest with everyone.

[sabrina 1]

12. DLC/DINO, yes, that is what the word really means.

[SDuderstadt]

16. "If you don't agree with me...

that makes you a DINO!".

Too funny.

[sabrina 1]

20. What makes you a DINO is when you do not support the

Democratic Party platform.

[SDuderstadt]

21. Great...

Do you really claim no centrists do?

[we can do it]

4. Can't Vote Because of Ad Overlapping

[mike_c]

6. I'd guess wanting to smash the capitalist machine...

...lands me in "fringe."

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. I refuse to put down Fringe, as I'm the same but my party went far right.

[elocs]

8. I'm a Democrat and that's good enough for me. I'd rather not be further pigeon-holed or labeled. nt

[Rochester]

9. I'm in the authoritarian leftist camp

I'm not exceptionally socially liberal (though still a little left of center), but about as far to the left on the economic issues as it is possible to be.

[alfredo]

15. I'm a left Libertarian.

A good way to gauge your leanings

18. That's a combination you don't see very much

in this country. Would you place yourself as a Marxist? A real Marxist not the idiocy that the faux noise brigade seems to believe in.

[Rochester]

22. Not 100% but close!

[Chorophyll]

11. Progressive/Liberal but you can call me

LIBERAL. And damn proud of it.

[Demoiselle]

13. Progressive Liberal here.

I haven't a clue what a "professional leftist" is. Or "fringe," for that matter. Both terms sound like rightwing bullshit to me, meant to smear and meant to wound.
I'd add social security benefits to your list, Horse. And, although there are pretty nasty perps out there who shake my convictions at time...I'm anti-corporal punishment too.
And, oh yeah, better gun regulation, please.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. I'm a FDR/RFK Democrat -

so I votes "fringe" -- and damned proud of it!

[Modern_Matthew]

17. Am I fringe? No control at all of people's lives; massive control of the economy. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Usually with the kind that are considered "unelectable" by the party bosses.

[damntexdem]

23. Well, professional leftist is who I WOULD identify with ...

if I thought that any Democratic senators fit that description.

[frylock]

24. i chose professional leftist because liberal/progressive has been co-opped..

by the so-called centrists.
