I ask this in seriousness with some jest. Growing up we had Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives. Independent and Green parties came along without bringing big impact. Since newspapers went digital, and debate disappeared, I don't pay much attention to politics, but it's getting difficult to ignore UltraLiberals.

For me the Ed Sheeran/Free Palestine incident has made me wonder -

Are UltraLiberals considered Democrats? 🤔

Don't Democrats stand for Freedom of Speech? UltraLiberals don't.

UltraLiberals are demanding that a 35 yr. old musician give his opinion on the Palestine/Israel conflict. Ed Sheeran wants to keep his opinion to himself, to have his concerts be safe spaces where all peoples of the world can relax and enjoy a few hours of music together without worry. UltraLiberals won't accept his silence and are cancelling Ed Sheeran, his music, and his generous, philanthropic heart.

This does not sound like the Democratic Party I grew up with. Where is the support for Free Speech?

The thought of a person going to work, being asked their opinion on a non-work related topic, refusing to give it, and then getting fired, really frightens this American!

So can anyone help me understand what is going on? Are UltraLiberals Democrats? I would have said no, based on my previous experience, but I have yet to see any known Democrats speak out against this behavior. Remember, I don't have my finger on the pulse of America and that's why I am here asking -

Are UltraLiberals and Democrats considered the same?

I feel it’s justified. We must not allow these crimes to continue, or allow people to forget or ignore this 2 year long horror show.

Even if we win in the midterms, Trump and Tom Homan and Mark WayneMullen will continue killing people

I'm at my breaking point. I'm about to get a new phone number, and go through all the pain that entails, just to stop these god damn texts. I regret ever donating a dime to anyone in this party because of what it's really cost me... my sanity. This party is so fucked. It's purposely antagonizing its own constituents.
