Thank the creator of the universe for DU.
After the election results were in I never felt so all alone. It was like it was a personal attack on me, directed specifically to me. I know there are millions of others out there who feel shattered but this loss just seemed so outright personal because it hurt so much. I wish I could sleep for more than 30 minutes. i guess i keep waking up thinking I will wake up and Kamala will be President.
When DU was down for so long after the results were in, I really felt despondent. It was like i had lost my best friend who was much needed for consolation and she had walked out on me. Now, even though DU is back I am so grateful to be able to feel like I am talking to someone who is listening. Still, I feel really lonely. I guess maybe it's because I refuse to turn on my TV or listen to any news programming right now. I can't even stand to listen to my favorite Lawrence.
I did tune into my Substack app to listen to Steve Schmidt and Mehdi Hasan and their post election views. Steve also came out swinging re what we should be doing between now and the mid-terms. I saw a lot of comments there from people now fleeing X (Twitter) refusing to give any more time and attention to Elon and hoping that fleeing X will somehow hurt is brand. Some stuff I just really disagree with from Steve Schmidt but he does gives a lot of points to force thinking in different direction. In Steve's Warning today at 19L43 AM is covers a lot of territory. Many will not like what he has to say about the graying Dem leadership and some will disagree but he makes the most compelling argument for quick changes at the top. At this point, we have little to lose by receiving thoughts and advice from those outside our own bubble.
Even so, I still feel alone and depressed. Trying to wait for my mental stability to return. Will it ever in the next 5 years?
