Up until today, I have resisted using an avatar to identify my support for Hillary because I did not wish to be targeted or have anything I might post judged or even totally dismissed by those supporting her opponent.

I don't post a lot, and am very rarely confrontational, but after seeing how the faithful supporters of Hillary in this group have been treated, I have chosen to visibly show my support for Hillary and this dedicated group.

I'm with her!

Stay strong.....

Those who attacked me revealed themselves, their bitterness, and their fear.

All of the anti-Hillary posts will be gone soon. DU will be Democratic Underground again. Those who do not support Hillary as the nominee will make a smooth transition to Discussionist or somewhere similar. The rest of us will get behind her to stop the GOP. I believe Skinner has already stated this will happen.

...that anyone believes the national Democratic Party would hand everything over to someone who can't even get a handful of colleagues to endorse him. Maybe they are aware of this little fact on some level, and that's what's making them so angry. I know I've been angry in the past when I knew that I was powerless to control situations, like the 2008 Dem primary, but I got on board behind the party's nominee, and he's been a great president, IMHO.

I also believe that there are two types of people involved in this election: The Democrat and the Notademocrat. I'm a Democrat.

You have inspired me. I've never bothered to get an avatar here because I don't post very much.

[On edit:] Whee! Look at that! I have an avatar!
