Personally, I did join the Democratic Party the moment it became clear that Trump was going to win the Republican nomination. Been contributing to Democratic candidates ever since, including those well to the left of me.
Everybody who steps up to say something about our politics does so with a sense that they have something to say that is worth hearing. I don't see this as a sin.

That's great. I'm glad you joined the party. To be clear, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to contribute to a reasonable civil discourse.
What I personally object to, is the constant backseat campaigning from people who aren't even willing to call themselves Democrats. I mean, I'd personally be a lot more willing to hear them out if they'd just be like "Okay, I'm on the team, I don't agree with progressives for XYZ reason and I'm going to argue against them... But I'm still a Democrat and intend to support the party against an authoritarian opposition."

I appreciate their views and also happen to think they are right about the missteps in the party right now, and I hope some of them are listening
