Hi all. Glad to join a forum that keeps out crazies and cons.

I've been posting on a forum that has "Liberal" in its name but has far more Conservatives and crazy Conservatives than Liberals. On top of that I live in a very red state where I feel I need to keep a low profile for self preservation.

I feel rising income inequality is the crying issue of our times so I'm a big Bernie fan. Like Bernie, I look to northern European Socialism for a model of how to run representative government and bring back a vibrant middle class.

I think I might find others here who think similarly.

It's good that you're here!

We have a Bernie Sanders Group--here's the link to find it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1280
