Hello Socialist Progressives [View all]

I just want to ask a little about this group.

I have subscribed to a few groups on DU but I don't know anything about actually joining one. Is there something that has to be done to join? Or just don't do anything to be kicked out?

Secondly, I was looking for a place where people can discuss actual progressive ideas, etc, without having an alert or being dogged. Somewhere that people can admit that there are problems instead of the "how dare you criticize our fearless leader who does no wrong!?" Somewhere that the "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality doesn't exist. You know, very similar to the, "if you don't support our illegal war, you're a traitor" crap.

I hope I am not violating any rules with this post. I did check them out. If I did, my apologies.

Thanks for reading.
