(805 posts)I've been here since the beginning when GWB was selected (not elected) via the GOP's dirty tricks and the complicit members of the Supreme Court. I was so upset and angry during the eight Bush years and when Obama was elected president, I cried tears of joy. For the next eight years, I wasn't on DU that much because I didn't have to worry as much as before.
When the 2016 election was stolen via the GOP, Russian interference, gerrymandering, etc., etc., I came back here and have checked in every day and several times a day to see what fresh hell this monster and his minions had unleashed on us.
I was beyond happy yesterday when Biden and Harris were sworn in. Thank God we have the good guys in charge again. I have such a sense of hope and relief now, and I still plan on checking in on DU every day. But this time, it'll be to see what good things they've done and what horrible things they've prevented or stopped. Thank you, DU, for always being there for us.
