Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI just want to say welcome to all the new subscribers
I'm assuming that for every member who has posted an "Well now I'm in the Bernie camp" OP there must be quite a few wallflowers who have also joined.
To you I say welcome! I'd love to hear your story about how you arrived here.
There is lots of good stuff in the pinned posts for your reference. Apologies for the lack of organization, but we're getting better at it as we learn.
Welcome to the most active group on DU!

(21,596 posts)My partner is a Sanders organizer at both the state and local level. However, He is not a DU member. So, I am going to be the link between the DU Bernie Sanders Group and our local group via the local Sanders group facebook page. Our local group is the second largest on our state! One of our members was interviewed by the Washington Post in a recently published article in the MSM!
I am very excited and hopeful about the Sanders campaign!

(133 posts)I just checked my account and saw the I will have been a member of DU for six years in a few weeks. I was here for two or three years before I finally joined. I come here everyday and rec a lot because someone has usually already expressed thoughts similar to mine. I read posters who I respect and ignore others who I don't. I have posted more in the last few months than ever before. I am a lifelong liberal Democrat and for the first time in many years, I am excited by a politician. I think that Bernie is our last hope of saving what is left of our democracy.

(4,081 posts)I was invited to join our local North Staters for Bernie (CALIFORNIA) facebook group a few weeks ago, added 30 members and we now have almost 400! Went to the first meeting a few weeks ago, joined the Strategy Committee for our group, signed up on Bernie's volunteer list to do almost anything and everything and can't wait til Bernie sets up campaign headquarters in California! Tomorrow evening I will work on registering people to vote at our music in the park.
I had been hoping he would run as I agree with his stance on almost all issues, but am especially grateful for the work he has done on behalf of veterans!
I have been without internet for a few years while I worked on a vegetable farm, but am now starting my own and am glad to be back on DU. I am really glad my user name was still valid!
WoW. Just checked my profile and looks like I joined DU way back in 2005! That was one quick decade!
