(53,661 posts)Search results but was busy with a site which had started in November of 2000 as we watched the coup of 2000 unfold, day by day. I wasn't signed up at DU then, so all I saw were lots of little lines. Opening up page after page was difficult, so I didn't join in at the time.
The other place was good through 2008 when a bitter schism took place between the Hillary and Obama supporters. It was shocking to see those who left saying then, they've vote for McCain. It was as DUers have seen, easier to unite while Bush was there. They never came back and went all GOP on us. Lost a lot of net friends that year.
Of the others that were left, most got into the CT stuff and were lost to the Dark Side (GOP) and the conservative goons took over everything. So I'm glad to be here now!
