This site has become my salvation. [View all]

Good morning DU. I felt so isolated before..nobody to talk to about this horrible election and the unthinkable possibilities of the orange asshole winning. It seems that everyone (except my daughter and SIL) are voting or have voted for the unfathomable option. Anyhow, thank you. As always I awoke in a panic this morning, because of you all...I was able to put my fears aside after I checked out the Daily Kos, Upshot, and 538(the only one I knew about before ). Feeling a little less anxious. I'm hoping my state (Florida) can bring it home for Hillary and all of us.
