You have a whole forum dedicated to DU. Obviously you all take the time to read it, and make comments here. That is the epitome of being a dumbass in my book. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.
We mole & mine DU to document & expose the crazy. -Not to mention, it's fun.
-Trolling doesn't do much good. One gets exposed and PPR'd.
-I have been observing your site almost since the beginning, but still have yet to have be removed.
There are also other more subtle things that are laid bare. For example, here you are - chatting with us. Your account is still live, and will remain that way until you eventually spin out of control and go out in a blaze of glory, like virtually every other visitor we have had. Don't you find the irony in that interesting ? - That the one thing Democratic Underground isn't is democratic ? -It's right in your site's TOS. - You may not be a conservative. You must support Democrats. Once a nominee is chosen, you must support him/her. There are other things too - For example, you must allow DU to distribute your EMail data to Democratic organizations. To deny DU that right gets you PPR'd.
And yet you folks like to prattle on about us being a bunch of mind-numbed robots who are doing Rush Limbaugh's and/or the Koch bros.' bidding.
-Whereas the very site you are subscribed to requires that you all are to march in lockstep.- while promoting you limited freedom to disagree on subjects within fairly narrow margins.

BTW, this condition isn't unique to DU - it is how all Democratic organizations are to one degree or another. -We like DU because the site contains as members those who more reputable Democratic organizations would lock out because of the embarrassment they would bring.
In other words, DU is actually honest in displaying exactly what those who are rabidly Democratic are. - probably because the owners place higher value on your account data than the face you present the world.
