He still thought I had lost my mind with my grief and anger at the theft of the election, and I had no one in town I could talk to about this. I was on another Democratic site which crashed so started looking around and found this and All Hat No Cattle and was able to laugh some and to start talking with other Dems and I could deal so much better. This quickly became my go to spot and has been such ever since. I am so thankful for you and all the other good folks here, for the comraderie and leftie support network!

Long Live DU!!!

I had much the same experience except husband is a Democrat. lark Oct 2021 #38
