...your thoughts on this. It is people in this group who keep me at DU.
I agree with you that many libertarian types are in GD. That alone is frustrating because they seem to be so reactive and have little sense of the history of various issues. They attack instantly when any Democrat acts contrary to their ideals..and the attacks are very personal, leaving little space for debate of issues and policy. That is frustrating to me because DU has always been a place for discussion and clarifying issues...no matter the side one ends up on. Even when we agree to disagree. And the people under attack are the Dems many here worked hard to elect, like Sec. Kerry and President Obama.
This place is not pro-Democrat any more.
I do think some are much younger...ahem. ....than some of us in DUJK. And that is fine. But I wish there was more open-mindedness during discussions. We'd all learn more from each other.
