Wow. It's been quite a run. I'm still happy I'm here though.
ETA:----------------------------------------------------------------
There are many here that consider themselves dyed in the wool democrats. But I'm a dyed in the DU democrat!
I came here because I was first politically inspired and motivated by Bernie Sanders. His words lead me to the Democratic Party, and many of it's members (thats you guys) are the ones that lead me to STAY here.
Growing up, I thought maybe I was an independent. But at this point in American history, it's clear to me that I align with the true, the blue, the Democrats.
I've done a lot here at DU. I've rallied together friends and pissed off quite a few. I've had my one of my posts mentioned on a radio pundits show! I've witnessed IMMENSE charity and kindness to my own family from those of you here at DU. (Thank you! Forever and ever!) I've had plenty of laughs, and I've felt solidarity in the darker times.
But most of all, I've learned. I've learned what we stand for. I've learned what those real evils in the world are. And most importantly, I've learned how to fight it!
So thank you for having me, DU! Thank you Skinner and Elad and EarlG for maintaining this excellent base for education, discussion and activism! (And for letting me back in the week after I first joined and was mistakenly banned! True story! I was so worried I said something wrong!! lol)
Thank you all!

(14,565 posts)I didn't post much while Obama was in office. Comparatively peaceful. Now I imagine I'll be here more frequently.
I still think all women should be required to figure skate. For their legs. Never mind. That didn't go over well the first time.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
