Default The Villages Democrats??

Does anybody know if there is a forum or group for Democrats on TOTV?? I could make a lot of wisecracks here, but I won't.

There is a group of Democrats on TOTV on the Political Forum. Many of them seem to live outside the Villages, though.

I happened to be playing golf with my foursome today, and it turned out all four of us are Democrats. We really enjoyed finding that out. I suspect that with the influx of retirees from the northeast, NY, NJ, etc, the percentage of Democrats in The Villages is increasing. I attend meetings of the Villages Democrats from time to time, and found it to be interesting and worthwhile and I did enjoy meeting people of the same political beliefs.

Thanks to everybody who responded...glad to know I'm not alone.

And to the Moderator...I DID look to see if there was a political forum...apparently I missed it on the drop down menu at the bottom of the page. Would it be possible for you to give me a link to the political forum page, please?

Default me too

I will be joining you guys. For now I will only be vacationing in Fernandina when our home is done but I can be counted. My husband teases me all the time about being a minority in TV. I'm from Northern VA, via NJ, via Israel.

Love to see all these Democrats. I stay away from the political forum though, found it too cut throat.

DebZ... The TOTV political forum is opt-in, you have to proactively join it.

Over in the far left colum is a section called Site Navigation. Within that is a link that says "join political forum" click on that, just one time, and you will begin seeing the political forum posts and can join in the often free-wheeling discussions.

Look down the left hand side and you will see Site Navigation and a link to join the Political forum. You have to opt in and you can opt out if it gets too brutal.

It can be a tough forum sometimes.

Mine is on the "Site Navigation" section. 2nd one down. It says "Join the Political Board".

I am of the Democrat persuasion. Have been since registering to vote in Reno, Nevada back around 1977. And, for now, I do live in the Villages and have since June 2005.

I used to go into the political forum.

Most of my scars are pretty much healed by now.').

NOT for the weak of heart....or open minded. and forget about it if you are a moderate.

Default Another North East Democrat

I'm another North Eastern Democrat hiding in the shadows of a very vocal Republican neighborhood!

As my other half says - never discuss politics, religion or sex!
