How much do you love this group?!

I was thinking about that this morning. You all make me smile and warm!

While I wouldn't recognize any of you on the street, I have great affection for you all.

We have persevered in a very hostile DU as we tried to combat the misinformation and sick, twisted hate for Hillary.

We have supported each other here and in GDP when the broken Jury system attempted to silence us.

We have been the voice of logic, reason, pragmatism, and sensibility as this once great board devolved into a rabbit-hole-esque bad acid trip.

We have been the honest surrogates for the next president of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton!

I just wanted to say thank you for being this place.

Ohhhh, I thank all of you.. we make one big happy Hillary Family.

She'd be so proud of us! Outnumbered but never giving up no matter how ugly it got.. and look at far we've come since she launched her campaign in New York last April. Just like she has the gop, BS, and the M$M against her and she's still winning.

GD has been crazy polarized for a while but it will calm down after the election.

It was a lot calmer when we were all unified in our opposition to Bush and the Iraq war.

our admins.

It was so disheartening to get swarmed and name-called and whatnot whenever I tried to post anything positive about Hillary anywhere else.

I was specifically NOT posting bad things about Bernie and - to my best recollection - never said anything bad about him here until the shenanigans in NV even though I had grown more disappointed with him and his campaign as the primary season rolled along.

I do prefer to post good things about Hillary in any event and that is easy enough to do. But it is so nice to be in a supportive group where positive posts about our candidate are not constantly met with RW GOPer slurs and or snarks.

To be honest, I want to thank the Berniers here. Because of them I started to really look into Hillary. Found out things I didn't know and things I had forgotten. I always liked her and thought she was awesome, but because of their crap here, I found that like turned to love. I just can't believe all she has done. I have always know the crap she had to deal with, but man, just like Obama, she doesn't toot her horn enough.

After that, I found this place. My happy place. Everyone here is a ray of sunshine. As I write, I've got a goofy grin on my face thinking about you all. I know I don't post much, but I read pretty much everything here.

So thank you, you Berniers, Bernie Bros, Bernie dudes. Thank you for showing me the way. Your evil plan was a fail.
