Which wing of the Democratic Party do you feel fits you the closest?

[NanceGreggs]

12. I'm just a Democrat.

I am a member of the party – the entire party, warts and all. I don’t belong to a “wing” of said party, nor do I belong to a niche, a subset, a certain group or a particular crowd.

I am wildly to the left on some issues; I am a centrist on others. And depending on the issue, I can land anywhere in between those two poles. I am not confined to one school of thought, any more than I am defined by categories that have little relevance to reality.

I am always a Democrat, although my reasons for being so may vary depending on the circumstances in which my party membership can best be utilized. At the present moment, standing UP for Democrats means shutting DOWN Republicans, and that is a means to an end. Right now, reminding Democrats that the alternative to our party is unconscionable is not hurray-for-us! hyperbole – it is a weapon as well as a battle cry.

At a time when divisiveness is tearing the nation apart, I am not about to be divided from my fellow Democrats by identifying with a “wing” of a party that has more reason to be united than ever before, and more of a righteous purpose in being so.

Either we’re together in our mission to defeat Republicans, or we’re not. And if we’re not, all the cutesy little labels we attach to ourselves – or that others choose to attach to us – are an exercise in mindless futility.

Are you a Democrat determined to defeat Republicans? If the answer is yes, 'nuf said - welcome aboard. Everything else is irrelevant.
