now DU will be our Rebel force headquarter!!

I cannot thank you enough for DU admin and the existence of DU.

Since the election, I stop watching MSM TV news all together. I shut out the most of News on Radio as well. ( I only end up listening
when my local classical music station does 5 mins News update at the every hour.)

Now I can check LBN regularly to know what is going on without getting into above.

I was wondering why DU was shut down.

I believe it is because this community has a great potential.

Is there any systematic efforts to connect DUers off-line locally?

Though I live in very blue Maryland, I am still super careful when and if talking about the election result. It will be great if DU
become the real Rebel Force headquarter for our glass root 'he is not my president'.

My husband kept telling me to get me out of depression that the Millennials are so overwhelmingly Democratic. ( Only 3 states went to Republican. This is very promising.)
Well, here is interesting story of my friend. My friend told me that her two high-school daughters are so upset that she and her husband became so busy calming down to the point that they were spared from their own depression.

I am finally recovering from my depression.

Thank you DU and I am so happy to be reconnected with you guys.

While I still cannot watch most cable shows, I have used my Roku to watch old sitcoms. I have almost finished watching five years of Hot in Cleveland. It is actually quite funny. I have also spend hours doing jigsaw puzzles. The hacking and shut down of DU was almost unbearable, While I do not post very often, I read it every day and it has allowed me some measure of hope for the future of this country.
