But I am grateful for the awaking of the least of "we the people" to the picture that, in the United States of America, there is no least of "we the people". We are all "the people" with the united ability to show up and keep democracy on track. We empower each other.

it was just barely, and because obstructionists are still in power, we have problems, but we bettered 2016 by many millions of votes, despite Trump-on-the-ballot skewing Republican turnout. We have more than a toehold, and really exciting is that people will grow weary of the krazy.

And I’m grateful for the founders of DU and all of you at DU who post and comment with insight and comfort. You’ve helped me stay sane the past four years, and you give me hope that we do have people who care about the future of this country and what happens to the people in it. Happy Thanksgiving!

The loss of sleep is self correcting at this point, as my high level of anxiety is dropping daily. I am thankful that my extended family is staying safe (at least most of them are). A happy and safe Thanksgiving to everyone!

for an old white guy who gave up his retirement years to help us all. Thanks Joe, from another old white guy. Stay well all.

I'm glad that Biden and Harris were elected and Trump is OUT, eliminating the "nightmare" that has continued for the past 4 years...
