    Just saying hello. I am from the Pacific Northwest but have also lived in Georgia, Illinois and Virginia. Looking for an alternative site to kill time at work since Yahoo forums were shut down. Politically I consider myself an independent but admittedly President Trump has pushed me left in recent years. That said, traditionally I support/don't support policies from both sides.

    Welcome.
    I think you'll find that writing on this forum is an ideal way to kill time either at work or at home. Since I'm a semi retired, self employed blacksmith, this forum is a great way to pass time on days when it's just too hot to swing a hammer next to a 2,500 degree fire.
    I look forward to reading your opinions and hearing your thoughts about topics that interest you.
    Have fun...

    Welcome.

    Independents always have a lean, but the idea is to not cater to one side or the other, but address by subject.

    Pull up a chair and dust off your keyboard.

    Welcome! I don't recall Yahoo having forums for over 10 years or more. Those were good times though!

    An independent!? Those are rare round these parts.
    You will find a heavy lean right.

    My advice, identify the trolls or bad faith posters and block them quickly. There are only a few but are very prominent. As a past independent that has steered left for the same reasons you have — welcome!
    Be prepared to be pushed further left.

    Welcome. I'm also an independent and moderate, with both leftist and rightist views, depending on the topic.

    Welcome to the forum.... I have a diabolical plan to attempt to lead the political right further left...... (I admit that my scheme may fail though)?!
