Initially, the reason I joined The Bulwark was simple. I wholeheartedly agree with the motto of WAPO. "Democracy dies in the dark." You folks were, and still are, my light. I mean it.

I have conversations with each of you, in my head (I'm not psychotic, I just double check my thinking). If my JVL voice says I'm on target. I probably am. But if Ms. Longwell pops in and tells me I'm too cynical, I try to soften my stance. Charlie? His voice teaches me new curse words and phrases. Right now, 'fuckery' is on my play list.
I subscribe to you because I need you to help me understand all this fuckery that's going on in our psychotic country. Y'all are my water wings when I think drowning is imminent.
haha, I do the same thing (have imaginary conversations with Bulwark writers). I'm glad I'm not the only one who's (not) crazy. I'll compose imaginary emails in my head, and on occasion I compose them and send 'em off. For me it's usually an attempt to take an idea introduced by a writer here and synthesize it with something I like or am otherwise invested in. It's like having an editor living inside my head, I suppose.
The comments area seems to be as a good a place as any to explore ideas. Everyone here is pretty good!
I'm going to confess a secret, so you can't share this with other Bulwarkians. I am exactly the same age as Mona. I admit I have a crush on her for the following reasons: Brilliant; very large heart, i.e., very empathetic; has a beautiful alto voice (dulcet tones); and she's kinda cute. These attributes are not necessarily in order of preference. When it comes to moral questions, her voice is one I heed.

Mona is the best. National treasure. And the bigness of her heart? Enormous.
