I know we all feel this way, but sometimes it is better to come out and say it. Thank goodness for DU. This site is a guiding light, an inspiration, a means for all of us to keep our sanity. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
I used to blog on my local right wing web site in central Pa. There were about 4 or 5 of us who fought for progressives, who fought for the truth. I got banned from the site a year ago, not for violating any rules but because I told the site owner that Trump was a Putin puppet. It feels so nice to be able to freely say here and now that Trump is a Putin puppet with no fear of being banned.
I an not a perfect poster here, I f*ck up from time to time, but when I realize I screw up I apologize.
Let's debate vigorously but in the end the only way we lose in 2020 is if we fail to show up to vote.
DU Rocks!
We must.

But the corporate media pushed and pushed and pushed the agenda of that evil administration.
Peace

DU is a treasure.

I get so much information, cartoons and posts that I email to all my friends. They think I'm doing a lot of work looking for all of this great stuff, but I don't. I just come here and read and it's all here. Yes, thanks.

(14,483 posts)I'm a relative new-comer (2017) but feel like I've been here a long time. Great place to vent and keep up with current Democratic Party thinking and trends, and to get a snapshot of news that's important to us.
I'm also grateful for the vast store of knowledge that's frequently shared here and I think we have experts on most every topic.
My other places of refuge are a few European news sites which don't stay enamored with tRump bullshit....
