i wouldn't ever identify as a member or supporter of the democratic party, even if i might endorse them from time to time in the face of a republican party that has, until recently, been discernibly worse. the only support i've ever articulated for this party (since the 90s, when i became old enough to have an opinion.) has been pure lesser-evilism, and it hasn't always been consistent.
i supported nader in 00. i supported kerry in 04, because he had an anti-war background (gore, on the other hand, was a hawk). i was a kucinich supporter in '08, and while i never supported mckinney, i never endorsed obama, either. i supported jill stein in 2012. i endorsed clinton in 2016, but i'm sure i would have voted for stein. and, my endorsement this year was for howard hawkins - because i suspect biden will, broadly, be worse than trump, a historic flip in which party is worse than the other.
so, don't pretend i'm a democrat, or a democrat supporter, or morally in line with the democratic party. i've spent my whole life being starkly critical of the party and i've often advocated voting against it.
broadly speaking, i've also been exceedingly critical of what identifies as "progressivism". i identify this strain of american history with racism, eugenics, the stifling of free expression and the worst type of upper-classism. this isn't some new thing, either - it's always been that way. i identify as a socialist & an anarchist, and i do so in direct opposition to "progressivism", which i consider to be a fundamentally conservative movement.
i am less critical of the canadian liberal party because it has historically been less elitist, but they are at least in a down moment, if they haven't permanently fallen into the abyss.
my opinions are articulated relatively clearly, i think, and there's a lot of them here, if you care to look. i'm happy to debate, if you'll engage. but, please be careful not to erect strawmen, or to put words into my mouth. i'll eventually just make a fool of you, if you do.
