https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-six-wings-of-the-democratic-party/?ex_cid=story-twitterInterested about the relative population here at DU - Given that none of us care much for labels, I suspect...which category do you best fit (trying to get a sense of how the DU community spreads out across these categories...and not posted for mind-changing or fighting!)

(60,038 posts)but I do get your point - I don't like people making assumptions about my beliefs! Same thing with my Myers Briggs - it really hasn't budged, and I answer the questions the same way, for the last many decades since taking it.
thanks though - I appreciate your comment, and understand.

(3,473 posts)It's this continued purity politics that will continue to play into the Republicans hands. Why do we want to continue destroying ourselves from the inside?

(638 posts)I love how AOC is helping shape the Overton Window so that hopefully Medicare for All and the Green New Deal are considered as American as apple pie one day.

(4,492 posts)For a district like NY-14 I am comfortable with a super progressive (AOC) in there. However, should she run for Joe Manchin's seat, she'd get her ass kicked. I'd rather have Joe Manchin than a teabagger in that seat.
For president, I don't think this country would elect a super progressive. I'd rather have a Democrat, any Democrat, who can win than a 2nd Trump term.

(3,212 posts)I think you have to move there in small steps.
So I chose old school progressive.
Huge leaps won't win in the general, imho.
But mostly I like chocolate cake.
Also - I like all the Dem candidate so far over any Con or Independent.
