I have changed the title of this diary, as it has been pointed out that it is incorrectly referencing another diary. The other diary inspired me to post this poll, but the poll question isn't really directed at the content of the other diary. I apologize for the original title of the diary, I was being overly cute with my headline writing.
I am referencing the diary that is currently on the rec list, and trying to do this carefully. Please, let me be clear, I am NOT trying to call out anyone in particular from the diary, including the author. In reading the diary, and the comments, as well as other diaries and comments on this topic, one of the recurring themes that I see is people expressing an opinion on what the "general" opinion of the progressive movement, and the members of this community in particular. Of course, no one knows what that general opinion is, and my humble little poll here is unlikely to change that, but I'll give it a try anyway.
