I'm trying to figure out why this site is called the Democratic Underground

59. I tend to agree with the OP

DU has become a place to blow off steam, to re-tweet stuff, to k&r or rec posts, and generally to keep the momentum and the anger going.

As much as I'm beyond pissed off at the current so-called "administration" of this country and all the damage being caused by it, I actually feel better when I skip DU for a couple of days. The anger is still there, but I don't spend (too much) time focused on it. I can take the blinders off and see what else is around me.

As I asked in a post a day or two ago, are we all just singing to the choir? We know we're pissed and disgusted, but what good does it do to sing to each other? Geez, if I get depressed, the last thing I want to do is put on a depressing song.

We need to put that perfectly good energy into getting out there and doing something.
