Glad you made it here too!!! I'm a lifelong Dem but I found this place in 2001 after feeling as though we'd been robbed the previous November with bush v Gore, and also feeling as though I was completely alone and isolated in my feelings. Nobody else felt the way I did about our precious little mustn't-criticize-his-lordship or openly discuss the many things he was already fucking up. I found my way here and learned I was very wrong in my feelings of isolation. There were tens of thousands of people who felt the same way - here AND elsewhere! It grew to many hundreds of thousands and then millions!

All through the last decade this place was an oasis in the middle of a VERY vast, parched, barren, inhospitable desert.
