Reply #38: "can't rely on the leadership to lead"

[fidgeting wildly]

That's why I'm here.

There are leaders here, and there are those who can help equip the rest of us to become leaders.

I've been lurking for months, and I've seen how powerful DU can be. When this place is at its best, it is its very own media machine. There is so much knowledge and insight and practical information here that I already can't imagine life without it.

It's also been a great place to commiserate. I live in a red state, and no one in my "real" life understands the pain I've been feeling like other DUers do.
