My 1000th post

My dear friends:

First and foremost, thank you so much for being here. You've helped me retain my sanity over the last three years.

I first discovered DU in the aftermath of the 2004 election. We were lucky, I guess, that the elections thereafter were ok (I love President Obama!) until 2016.

I rejoined in 2016 right around the "election" of our obese, fake-tanned, fake-haired, fake-wealthy, fake-brained Dear Impeached Leader. Like you all, I was in a funk after the "election", but it was here that I found folks who helped me make sense of what happened and what is happening.

To each of you in DU: I love you so much. You helped me understand what's really going on in our country. I'm eternally grateful for DU and each of you.

On my 1000th post, I have one fervent wish: let us come together and defeat this madness at ALL levels, whether it be at POTUS, Senate, House, or local. We have seen how bad it can be. If we do not come together, we have no idea how bad it can get. Together, we can overcome.

Thank you all, my beloved friends!

We are so lucky to have this place. I don't know what I would do without it or all of the wonderful people here.

It's a great brainstorming site for us contributors - and also, I suspect, for many on the front lines of Democratic politics.

I can't help but think that more than a few campaign strategists are frequent visitors to this site, and get quite a few good ideas from us.

Thanks again.

I think of us as the hotbed of Democratic ideas and ideals.

And it's a great place to help keep one's sanity.
