I've been reading DU for almost 20 years.

[OAITW r.2.0]

It has never been a more important resource then it is now. Thousands of people posting real world-real time stories that we need to know.

Big thank you. and a big donation to this website.

1. We NEED each other, now more than ever.

[Cha]

2. SO TRUE!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

3. DU is a lifesaver!

DU has the best people..really glad to be here.

[pecosbob]

4. I kinda freaked when I couldn't get on last night

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Same here!

[Hekate]

6. What you said. And thanks for the reminder about donations!

My "year" isn't up for months yet, but as long as I can -- yes, should do, will do. The Founders, aka the Admins, do a tremendous service in keeping this site going.

Stay well, Old And In the Way! Yes, I do remember.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. And I remember you, too, old posting friend!

[Dem2theMax]

7. In total agreement!

Friends and family cannot figure out why I'm so on top of the news. I keep telling them Democratic Underground.

It takes them a couple of days to hear what I read about on here 10 seconds after it's happened. And many times from a direct news source, being one of our fellow posters.

[Kitchari]

25. Agree

Same here

8. Soon you'll have your gold star. You get that when you contribute.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. How much? Can I use FR posting credits?

Wait a minute, I don.t post there and I can no longer read the stupid shit that JR and the remaining morons keep posting. If you aren't brain-dead and you aren't a Russian trollbot, who posts there?

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Was that for me? To donate, you go into My Account and select the Star Membership tab.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. Just kidding.sorry.

Already donated....again.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. It looks wonderful 👍

[2naSalit]

10. It's helping me maintain sanity at this point.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Cheap therapy!

DU maintains my sanity because a whole lotta people feel the same way.

Thanks 2naSalit! backattcha.

[calimary]

12. Glad you're still here!

This place is still the oasis that it was back when it helped me get through bush/cheney. Thank Heaven!

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. Never left! Always Right!

Thanks calimary!

[Totally Tunsie]

17. I think we all were reminded this morning how important DU

has become in our lives when we were unable to log in. There was that momentary sense of panic that I couldn't get my DU "fix". It surprises me sometimes how much of my daily news I get here, not to mention the on-going education. "Important resource", indeed.

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. Absolutely TT!

Reminds me of a Byrd's Song.... You don't miss your water. till your well runs dry.

20. +100

[flying-skeleton]

18. Please please please .....

Do whatever it takes to make sure DU doesn't get hacked this election cycle. I was SO LOST in 2016 rendering me despondent to the point of a nervous break down. Then the ass won. My world came crashing down without my DU family around.

Please please please.

Thank you.

21. I too have been here for almost 20 years.

I have limited my donations since 2016, though, due to the behavior of some of the members who, at times, make it less than welcoming.

In four years it hasn't worked in changing said behavior, unfortunately,

[lunatica]

22. Ditto to the max!

[seta1950]

26. Indeed

I totally agree love DU

[montana_hazeleyes]

27. I love DU. The thought of being without it is horrible!

I've been a member for 17 years. ( I don't post much)lol

I also read a lot before I became a member. It has helped me get through so much. l don't remember how I found DU, but I'm so glad I did.

[Blue_true]

28. Yes.

When I want up to date, full detail news, I come to DU, someone would have posted it.

[Danascot]

29. When DU was off the air recently

it scared the crap out of me.
