I want to shout out a GIGANTIC THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ON DU...

You all have helped keep me sane....just knowing that I have shared feelings and experiences these past 5 years has been not only cathartic but has kept me hopeful....I love you all...

I have been crying over America since 2016...

I am now crying tears of joy....

We finally have a President that cares about something other than himself.

Thank you to all the DUers out there that over the last 16 years have provided me with that support and also a lot of good laughs when I needed it most.

Camaraderie, wit, brilliance, empathy, and a whole lot of pulling together in the same direction. And personally, I learn SOOOOOOoooooo much reading through here. I love this place! It's been my main hangout on the net since 2001.

Thank you, pbmus, and thank you DU! It's saved my sanity through three administrations.
