(3,635 posts)I've followed DU off and on since about 2002 - back when people wanted Al Gore to run again in 2004 - who probably should've as the base was fully behind him in a way that they were not in 2000, and I think he would've beaten Bush (again, lol).
Some others:
-Jiacinto. iirc he was very conservative (some felt he was a plant) and loved Lieberman lol.
-Mongo(what ever happened to him) and his porn war threads lol, were usually epically long with lots of hides and hurt feelings lol.
-Will Pitt was a defining character of early DU.
-Keith Olbermann and Al Franken. remember people felt they were the only fighters in the MSM for us calling out Bush's lies.
-in 2008, Obama vs Hillary, this place was insane, I stopped reading for months and came back when it was over.
There were years at a time I barely visited (had other user names I forgot passwords to) - but usually came back around the presidential elections.
