I do.

These past days, weeks, months have been really hard. Feeling overwhelmed and frightened, it's hard to be hopeful.

We can't control anyone but ourselves. But DU is a safe place for people who share the same values and want the same things for ourselves and our kids, and our country. These things will always be more meaningful than any poll.

I wish you a relaxing evening, and hope you find some peace.
