Hi everyone! Looong time lurker, I've been reading stuff on DU for over 20 years, ever since my brother and some friends were sent to Iraq because a certain terrible President who happened to look and act remarkably like a chimp decided that he was going to invade a country on false pretexts. I decided to finally sign up and share my thoughts with the class, lol.

I have always enjoyed reading the spirited discussions on here, and as a life-long Democrat (both big D and small d) it really did me a lot of good knowing that there are a lot of like minded people in the world, even if it doesn't always seem like it given that I live in one of the reddest states in the country. After the country being inflicted with nearly a decade of a corpulent orange imbecile's insane ranting, it feels so refreshing to know that the party (and seemingly a good portion of the nation) is ready to move on and finally make progress.

Don't get me wrong, I love Joe Biden, and really appreciate everything that he's done, which he doesn't get nearly enough credit for, but seeing a Presidential candidate who more closely reflects my experience as a middle-aged person is exciting. And not just for me, the younger people in my life seem equally as enthusiastic. Honestly, it reminds me quite a bit of Obama's campaign in 2008. I sincerely hope that this is the collective moment when we all can finally turn the page on Trump and everything that he represents and move forward.

We are NOT going back!
