I joined back in May of 2008 while President Obama had not yet won his first election. There were tough times, between the Pro-Obama and Pro-Clinton camps, but by the time I joined those were (mostly) settled...though flare-ups did occur.
Most of the posts at the time were spent on building up our future president and attacking his GOP challenger. Who was that again?
Some topics were hot topics, as they are now...Israel, pooties vs. woozles, circumcision vs err… no-circumcision, etc.
I gladly joined the place and am very glad that I did. I am by no means an old-timer, though I am older than some, less than others.
My question is: If you had not joined when you did, and you came across Daily Kos now, would you join?
I surely would...it is the people that make this place and although we’ve lost some to death, others just dropped off, and others left for ideological differences, many good people still remain in. So I know I would join the community. How about yourself?
