About FromMissouri
Long-term DU lurker here. Perhaps ten years or so. I spent way too much time in private email exchanges with acquaintances and attempts to refute insane Facebook posts, and then decided to just read and not write. Deleted my Facebook account before the primaries when I suspected strange things going on, after I posted several links to stories about Cambridge Analytica that mysteriously disappeared, and my "friends" never saw. And a note I wrote about it also disappeared with nobody seeing it. So I deleted FB and never looked back. Since then, I read, but haven't written much. I started my involvement in Democratic politics as a "hippie" who did "get clean for Gene." Have been working in elections, at first door to door, then strategy and printing and designing brochures and organizing telephone and mail and data campaigns ever since. Nobody I worked for won the election, which was rather disappointing. I lean toward the left. Will probably not post much. My actual reason for signing up for an account is to thank all of the DU posters I've been reading all these years, who have kept my spirit alive and provided links and arguments and insights. I use DU as my start page, and there are days when it's all I need. So thank you, all of you.Avatar Image
