Come on in the water’s fine.

And yep! It’s a great thing. LOVE it and LOVE supporting this amazing community of friends.

Coming up on a year.
I'm retired & on Social Security with a little side income.
But I've been coming here since Obama's election & felt that maybe it's time to try & support this even if it's only a little.
I think it's more important now then ever!

It feels good to support a site that stands for truth and democracy.

on all accounts.

an added blessing!!!

Or something, right?

I tend to donate much more because, well, I rely on DU.....a LOT

you'll get double the hearts to give away for Valentines Day. 💕

first, some kind soul here on DU gave me a membership. Once it expired, I pinpointed a bit of discretionary funds to buy one for myself. I don't pay to subscribe anywhere else. No place else is worth it, to my mind. Of course I come here to find out what's going on in the world, but more than that... it's the people here who make it worthwhile, IMO. And it goes far beyond just "like minds"... there are excellent critical thinkers here, as well as people across all walks of life with knowledge and experiences they're willing to share. And a better group of cat and pet parents, I don't think you can find anywhere!

There's something for everybody here, beyond the politics. When I'm feeling overwhelmed or disheartened or disillusioned with the current state of affairs, I can turn to so many other forums to get my mind off it, if only for a little while.

It also helps to remind me that are still good and decent people left in the world!

Star, Valentine Hearts and the occasional fundraiser.
Mine's on autopay.

and supporting DU is the best thing you can do! Welcome!

🙏. Must be just the right time!

it is really hard to go back.

Star membership is great. You get a warm-and-fuzzy feeling for supporting DU and skip the adds.

and I've been here 23 years. I wouldn't do without it.. and for your reasons. 💙

:partty:

A profound result.

Welcome.

Makes it soooo worth it.

...I too became a Star Member shortly after I joined last year. It is a great experience! Great minds and great people are here at DU.

I remember seeing this episode on TV! The Golden Girls - what a hoot!

...the error of my ways.

DU is the best political website on this planet.

because the ads are so unobtrusive. Other sites have ads that cover up text, sometimes many layers. I recommend DU to people all the time. I stress that there is no site generated content. It's user driven. A real soapbox for the public. Thanks DU.

Welcome~

NOT pulling myself out of THIS “addiction “.
