(30,099 posts)61. You're being less than direct with your responses to him, that much is clear. There are no
requirements to agree with the Democratic platform on Israel nor any other issue in order

you Obama was not always on board for gay marriage. Your opinion seems to be that
people should leave the Democratic party if they do not agree on an issue....interesting
advice you give for a party that defines itself as a big tent.

Yes, more liberal. Some here are the "far left". Some here are just "liberal Democrats".
