(4,220 posts)I think I joined during the Bush selection (thanks to Bartcop!) in 2001 but can't seem to see/figure out the exact date....
Freaking 20 years though, crazy!

(65,183 posts)I also joined due to anger about Bush. And this became an outlet for me for 20 years. Through the good and bad, it has been very useful.

(102,505 posts)Thank you, LakeArenal, and all on this thread! DU and DUers have gotten many of us through some very tough times but also come together to celebrate our successes!
I knew that Kentuck and I both came to DU in 2001, but I had no idea we registered on the same day. Colorado was soooo RED back then, but by 2008 many like-minded Coloradoans came together to elect Obama and to turn Colorado purple/blue. Now it is quite blue. I credit my time on DU with motivating me to be active in politics--or at least more so. There are not many online communities that so thoroughly update current issues and news while quickly countering that which is not true. Not to mention a much-needed place to vent and/or regain perspective.
(well, not totally speechless... LOL)

(21,164 posts)2001 was a long time ago. As I recollect (in my 20-year-less-agile brain), you had a mint Skittles avatar back in the day.

(21,164 posts)I can't remember all of the handles, I am not sure I am quite getting the ones I remember right.. Maybe some of these still post here under different names, or I don't happen to see them.
sffreeways, Maine Mary, Indiana Green come to mind. There was that younger woman from New Zealand, Fifi, perhaps? There was a woman from Washington, if I recall. She posted a picture of herself dancing on the 2004 convention floor. I can't recall her name.
It's hard to believe kids have been born and voted since we all signed up for DU.
