Just renewed my Star Membership! [View all]

I actually left DU for a few of months because of the primaries. I would come back to check on the headlines (because I believe DU is THE BEST place for news), but I wasn't engaging any longer—and I actually found it relieving because it was getting too stressful reading and getting involved in the posts.

I was a Bernie supporter—always loved him, and still do!—and I didn't like the idea of signing the "primary agreement" before the candidate was actually chosen. So, I decided to leave until the primary was over.

During the DNC, I stood (I like standing very often when I watch tv) and watched the last night while Chelsea was speaking. I didn't like the video preamble before Hillary came out (I thought it was too Academy Awards and I was probably rolling my eyes), but after listening to Hillary's speech, I slowly came around. I think what finally got me was when she said "Okay I get it. You want to know who I am" (or something to that effect), and she gave a background on her life. It was enlightening.

Anyways, I'm happy to be back because I love DU, and I'm glad there's more cohesion here.
