Yikes, I thought the post-election group hug would last four years!

[Jackeens]

But everyone's falling out!!

Come on, all together now: GROUP HUG FOR PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA!

Pardon? Shut the **** up/go away stupid/be quiet idiot/you Hillary hater/you Hillary lover/you moran (FREEPER ALERT!)/etc.

Okay....guess I'll just have to hug myself. And that's embarrassing.

1. Come here...

Mookie's got one for you.

I like Obama, Clinton, Richardson, Michelle, Bubba, Jill, Biden, Dodd....

We have so much talent on our team.

[xultar]

2. No shit, and the GOP has zilch.

[Captain Hilts]

4. Does this mean you have a hug for me?

We could make a kind of conga line of hugs....

Our line-up of Obama, Clinton, Rahm, Reich, Biden, etc. just scares the shit outta them. I want Feingold and Frank more involved.

8. ...

[Trajan]

3. I love all the Democrats

I ALWAYS loved them all ....

I refused to participate in the primary warfare, for this reason .... It is internecine ugliness in all it's awfulness ....

I like to be optimistic ... yet coming here is like coming to a fucking wake ....

Thanks for this .....

:fistbump:

5. Four minutes would be too much to expect from a bunch of Democrats.

Any time they get in a circle they start looking around for guns.

6. There were people on this board screaming "betrayal" one day after the election

I don't care what anyone says, I intend to continue celebrating for a couple more weeks. Then I will reevaluate my relationship with DU after January 20.

16. I agree. I want to see Obama through the Inauguration. I want to see Bush out.

This site was founded in response to a stolen election, a crime against our democratic system. That is my primary interest: our system and legitimacy, and beyond that the ending of the chokehold that Rightwing extremists have held our country in.

I have little interest in going forward into a four- or eight-year Primary-type battle among Democrats, characterized here by meanness and disrespect for others and their opinions. Like some others in this thread, I like all our prominent Democrats, and object to demonization of any of them.

[liberal N proud]

7. Come on, we are Democrats after all

[firedupdem]

9. here's a fist bump and a hug for all my new friends!

:grouphug:

:fistbump:

[JVS]

10. 4 years, eh? So you're planning some kind of scheme in 2012!!!!!

[AspenRose]

11. Nah. We're Democrats. Herding cats and all that.

But I love Ireland, so here's a hug for you :hug:

[Life Long Dem]

12. Fallen Palin!

[happychatter]

13. it might be embarrassing, but I would pay to watch

you SO deserved that

[Jackeens]

15. Okay, PayPal me $20 and I'll see what I can do.

[Jennicut]

14. I hear ya, I am still celebrating. Is there something wrong with that???
