I'm a liberal independent... but a de facto Democrat.  The Democrats come closest to my political philosophy... but at the same time they are so far away.  It's the bummer of coalition.  As a liberal I must compromise with "illiberals' and protectionist-isolationists, ultimately hoping my way wins out.  But the alternative is joining forces with monoculturalists, social cons, and corporate-capitalist ideologues.
