(84,632 posts)36. Welcome to DU, MLF1981!
Congratulations on a really terrific post!
Glad you're here and I hope to read more from you. Lifelong D and d member, myself. I watched and listened to the Republicans and never could fit with what they professed to believe. The Democratic and liberal-leaning worldview and mindset is just... well... the way I lean, myself, and always have.
The access here to some of the greatest contemporary writers on earth is not just eye-opening but also inspiring and tremendously informative. I've learned so much, here, and gained a much more well-rounded understanding than I ever could have without it.
Glad you're here and formally weighing in!

OP
I've often wondered how many long-term lurkers we had and whether something might induce them to post.
