I can be corny and (as someone here once said) overly dramatic...

but this is from the heart (okay, that sounded dramatic):
I am so glad DU has been here for me during this coup of our government.
In past elections (which weren't even CLOSE to how horrible this one was), it was hell: I would divert my eyes from newsstands, leave rooms when the tv news was on, and pick and choose my websites very carefully.
But since I found DU, I have a place to fall back on.
Rock on DU! And boy did I miss you election night—fuck!

Hacked on Election Day and not up for a week. It left me struggling to retain any sanity because the only other media was nonstop Trump stuff.

I have relied on Democratic Underground since 2000 or early 2001. It's my sanity lifeline.
