(2,461 posts)Are you serious? Holy Moly!
I also read the Washington post, watch Rachel Maddow and also, gasp, like Jim Jefferies. I am also a member of Democracy Now and the Real News Network. I watch CNN too - oh and also BBC, France 24 and
I read books too!!! Would you like a list of my latest purchases?
Here is what I wrote at the link. I find nothing in this shameful. It is curious to me why you would want to point this out. Sorry if you are offended. Hopefully, like me, you'll get over it, and we can have a helpful discussion.
I'm quite sure to get myself into trouble, if not today, certainly tomorrow, or if I find my bigger self, I will be hiding till November. I found DU on google some years ago, lurking forever, not wanting to intrude as a foreigner. Someone had written a surprisingly non-msm progressive article that caught my eye.
It was so refreshing in contrast to the picture we Canadians are fed of RW, warmongering, Empire building, gun-tottin' Americans. Of course, I knew you were out there! I'd been following Democracy Now, The Real News, Thom Hartman, etc. that mirrored my world view of us all born as lovers, where false gods with false promises inevitably lead to mistrust and inequality.
Here at DU, I found that love that extends past borders and biospheres.
I've been waiting and advocating for a time like now since my youth - everything points to this revolution that Sanders has so selflessly championed. It's happening all over the world, and the challenges to change are becoming not only more insipiently dangerous, but simultaneously more transparent with citizen journalism. They can't keep it up. Keep strong!
I've come to recognize names here and happily read your posts. It gives me strength and hope.
Maybe its just this primary business, and November will bring back some democratic discussion here - but for now, or until the axe falls, a fond adieu. See you in JPR.
