30. No.
DU's "who we are" clearly states that it is a board for Democrats and "other progressives." So no, DU is not "all" Democrats.

Among Democrats, there are core groups that are very different. To some, being a "Democrat" means party loyalty above all.

To others, being a "Democrat" means working with the most obvious group to achieve change or progress on issues. For this group, it's no disloyalty to hold the party accountable for that, or to put issues before party identity.

I am not down for that. I won't vote for an ineffective, lying Democrat any day. I won't vote for the Republican, either. It's not an "either/or" choice. Those that spin it that way ARE accomplices in the crime of unaccountability.

I am no accomplice of corruption or dysfunction.
