Look at the various groups and different forums - I promise you will find several posts that are well thought out, passionate, kind, empathetic, uplifting and/or funny. DU has added all kinds of great thoughts, ideas and people to my life, this primary ugliness will pass and most of us will be voting together and working on a lot of the same things in the future.

Whether it's something simple and cute that makes us laugh, or a powerful post about the state of our economy and/or environment, or a call to help rescue someone in need... DU does all kinds of great stuff, all the time.
