2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Who ARE you people??? [View all]
As a new member here, and having seen people who have thousands of posts, I'm very curious about who you all are (without naming names) and how you came to DU.
For me, I came across a link on Google News. After that, I was hooked. I work for a not-for-profit government research institute. We are a non-partisan company. I've worked for them for over 20 years.
I've always leaned left, but over the past 10+ years, have become solidly, staunchly blue.
