57. 20 years -- a lot of history yes indeed

Thu Jan 21, 2021, 06:49 PM

Jan 2021

I've been really grateful to have DU and DUers around to share all this history with. I've got to admit that on top of everything else on that dark night back in November 2016, losing DU and not having that resource to navigate those emotional waters made it considerably worse. It was so disorienting. Election night in 2004 was bad, but at least we had each other, lol.

But this last run to victory, like the 2008 and 2012, was all the sweeter for getting to share it with you all!
