Liberals and Progressives seem to get along, but Democrats up until LBJ were a different brood. I'm assuming it's regional difference mostly.

I never noticed the personal debates until I got called out for a casual remark or two on "gays" and the death of Michael Hastings. Some topics do spur on real strong positions, while others are more rudimentary.

I'm not single, but I'm a long time, somewhat conservative feminist. Figure that one out.
