Check in if you are from a different country. Just curious how many

[Quixote1818]

people from other countries post on DU. Tell us what you think of the state of our Union and idiot president. Don't forget to say what country you are in.

1. I'm from america

But I'm now living in Dumbfuckistan.

[NorCalDem]

3. Haha,

I really enjoyed that. Dumbfuckistan, I'm stealing that.

[Arugula Latte]

10. Isn't that close to Jesusland?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. Howdy, neighbor.

[mirandaod]

2. The Netherlands.

I'm American, but now live in Dordrecht.

[mr blur]

4. England here

wishing the labour party had kept George Galloway and thrown most of the others out.

[FlemingsGhost]

5. I'm from a Republic known as the United States of America.

I'm not too sure where I am currently, but it ain't the home I remember.

[Kipling]

6. England

Come from Scotland though.

[achtung_circus]

7. Canucklehead, here.

[CJCRANE]

8. England

[Paul B UK]

9. You can add...

...one more member to the 'United Kingdom' pile. :D

[CJCRANE]

13. Welcome Mr B!

:hi:

[Maple]

11. From Canada

eh...

[Just Me]

12. Well, if you're talking about origins,...

,...my family goes back to some pretty mean Vikings. But, I take it you are looking for those (whoops) NOT born in the United States.

[CJCRANE]

14. You know...

Skinner should set up a franchise, I mean Canada's just got LiberalUnderground, but there's still space for LabourUnderground...and ultimately GlobalUnderground (although DU is by default a sort of global clearing house for left of centre ideas).

[Occulus]

16. I was thinking that DU could use a couple print outlets

in choice locations.

[CJCRANE]

19. Mmm...interesting idea...

also the name DemocraticUnderground actually works anywhere (because just about everyone wants to be "democratic").

Also think that DU would have more credibility than other lefty papers such as "Socialist Worker" (which scares a lot of people off).

18. Problematic here in the UK. Our Left scene is very fragmented.

There's Labour, of course, but also the Lib Dems, Respects, the Greens, a spectrum of single-issue groups, and armies of unaligned leftists including myself. A name would be hard to think of.

[Paul B UK]

21. British Left

Are even NuLabor keeping up the pretence that they're a left-wing party? They're not so far politically off the Republicans.

I'm Lib Dem leaning, by the way.

For non-UK people: RESPECT is George Galloway's party - Galloway is its sole representation in the Commons.

[Taxloss]

24. "Not so far politically off the Republicans"?

Are you serious?

The PLP is certainly to the Left. The Blairite clique at the top may be rightist in good part, but has still sponsored LW initiatives a RW governemnt wouldn't have come close to.

[Taxloss]

15. England here.

[Applan]

20. From England but now in Phoenix

via Toronto

[arcos]

22. Costa Rica here... nt

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

23. England here

[SmokingJacket]

25. I'm curious to know WHY so many people from other countries are here.

Is our country that much of a trainwreck that you have to find out what's really going on?

Is it to reassure yourselves that not all Americans are completely mad?

[corksean]

26. Checking in from Ireland
