I'm reminiscing about the old days of DU..... back before Twitter, iPhones and Facebook existed.

Starter for one:

Anyone else remember back in 2003 when we invented the election integrity movement here?

It was kinda cool when CISA Chief Chris Krebs said after this latest election (and after he was sacked) that the job is not finished, and won't be finished until there are no more paperless voting machines in the U.S. I really hope that happens before 2022. Might be tricky.... but I think it could help.

Personally I think there is a pretty direct line between back then and the GA triumph of last week.

1. Election integrity movement is what first led me to DU. n/t

2. I joined DU in 2005, was active until things got nasty--the Bush years Re: Hillary.

Since it got so heated(and nasty re: Bernie), I did not post for several years but followed every day.
What was happening during that time is chicken feed compared to the mess we are in today.
I missed those whose posts I followed in the old DU days.
I've been back for a while now with the most awful thoughts about tRump and the whole Republican party. I follow daily as most of us do.
I defer to those with more knowledge than I. My blood boils every time I see the face or hear comments about this idiot in the White House.

5 More days! I should be excited but I am afraid. What kind of a country have we now?
Too many idiots with nothing better to do but support tRump and his crooked minions.
Sad times for all of us.

Go Joe and Kamala, my thoughts are with you.

3. i found my way here in '03. i was making political buttons to contain my rage.

i had a website, pinkobuttons.com.
i tried to run google ads, and got rejected. back then they didnt take ads for sites political content.
as i looked into it, i found a post here from someone w the same issue.
been here ever since.

a lot of things i read here ended up on buttons. ie- paper ballots not vapor ballots. and- no black box voting.

still got a way to go, but it sure is interesting what happens when ppl vote on paper.

5. I came here in 2002 from a suggestion on The Smirking Chimp.

I was so disgusted with the Bush/Cheney administration; I had no idea that the GOP could be any viler than that. Boy, was I naive.

8. I remember back in '78 or '79 when I first got online with one of the WebTV units. It was quite a

while before I hooked up with DU but the whole thing has been quite an education!
