General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsFor my 10,000th post, I feel like I should be saying something profound.
As the number was approaching, I have been trying to come up with the right ideas but have not found anything earth shattering or that hadn't been said before by others.
What I can say is that DU is very important to me. I am a rare Democrat in ruby red south Arkansas. Reading DU every night keeps me grounded in the knowledge that we few Democrats here in the piney woods are not alone.
I have made friends that I will never meet. I have had valuable discussions with well informed people on important issues. I also enjoy the lighter side of DU in the Lounge. There are frequent posters for whom I cannot leave posts unopened.
I appreciate the work done by EarlG, the administrators, and the MIRT in keeping DU a safe and sane place for discussion.
Thanks DU.

(3,319 posts)DU is about keeping ahead of the insanity from the other side. Before I found DU, early on in the tfg regime, I wondered if anyone else felt as hopeless, depressed and disgusted, as I did. When I found DU, I was able to embrace the truth of my observations an I had a forum of kindred democrats, to work on a solution. I've become active in organizing and getting out the vote in my precinct and the community at large.
