Are DU and DailyKos "far left" sites?

No and it's pretty hilarious anyone thinks they are. DU is a site where someone was permabanned for saying basically "I live in a safe state do I'm undecided between voting for Hillary and Stein" also see what happens if you sign up on either and try to discuss Marxist thought.

Kos doesn't seem so much "far-left" as "overwhelmingly pro-Democratic to the point of suffocation." There is a difference.

It seems to me that at one time Kos was progressive more than just pro-Dem. I'm thinking back to the W years. What caused the shift?

I think you answered your question in the sentence before it.

The thing about Gully thinking Hispanic was a separate race on the Census by the way, is that it was actually Lewis Trondheim (another non-American) who corrected him.
