(14,118 posts)11. I just turned 72 and I cast one of the many votes that elected Joe and Kamala. While I have
a history of depression I've never given up. If I can be a part of making this positive change in
our politics and and society then I'm content to be a cheerleader for the many reforms that are

You're not alone but you are part of a strong, vital group so act like it!
