With which faction of your party do you most identify?

[RINO Tom]

I guess urban conservative.

[RINO Tom]

That Democratic faction that is economically liberal to moderate, socially liberal and fiscally conservative. The most notable politician an who comes close to my views is Jerry Brown.

Okay, Crabcake, you win ... these terms are stupid as .

Liberal doesn't mean what you think it means.

It doesn't mean just one thing, smartass.

I'll be one of the few brave souls to say I'm a Neoliberal Democrat

Supporting the hegemonic ideology is brave?

Well, I was just basing that on the fact that 37 posts into this thread, only one person claimed to be a neoliberal. It seemed like Atlas was overrun with similar-minded posters to myself before the election, but most of them disappeared, and so now populists and progressives hold a large majority of the left-wing avatars here, which this poll seems to confirm.

A similar phenomenon happened on the right, although rather than a drop off of posters, "America First" Republicans have joined by a sizable number.

There certainly does seem to be a rather large proportion of Labor-Populist and Progressive Democrats now compared to before the election. I'd guess on November 8th it was evenly split; now most of the Neoliberal and Urban Liberal Democrats have either changed their faction or left the forum. This raises the question of to what extent, if any, this may be an indication of larger changes in the American political landscape.

I think anyone who claims that Hillary's damn-near-stunning loss is anything but BAD news for DLC types going forward in the Democratic Party is in denial.
