Hello, it's been a great first ... has it only been 3 days?

Hello, DU! Three days ago I signed up with DU. And I have gotten so "into" the postings that it seems like I've been a part of you much longer than that.

Let's see ... I live in a state that, over time, has been and still is a weird patchwork of conservative and progressive and everything in between (and maybe some stuff on a different spectrum!). On balance, for decades, the state as a whole tended to elect centrist Democrats (several were "republican lite&quot at statewide and congressional district levels; local elections, as far as I know, varied. More recently, roughly in two waves (I think) over a couple decades, the state as a whole has gone more conservative. Ugh.

But I have many progressive friends, one of whom told me about DU some time ago. And I kept reading your posts until I couldn't stand being a by-stander (by-reader?) and decided to sign up.

Have a great day!

I'm glad you're here!

Some people settle right in, and it looks like you're one of those...Good on ya!

There's a lot to see and talk about these days. When (or if) you get tired of politics, take a break and look through the Forums & Groups tab at the top of the page. There you will find ALL of the different offerings that DU has. Something for everybody!
