made a new page about DIANs
A '''DIAN''', short for '''Democrat in All but Name''', is a politician who has a voting record like that of a [[Democrat]] despite not being registered into the [[Democratic Party]]. Often referring to the least [[conservative]] of [[RINO]]s, the term also applies to [[Independent voters|Independents]] like Angus King.
