Do DUers have the ability to think for themselves IF they’re not given instructions by their DemonRat overlords? Or, in lieu of instructions by their overlords, do they just revert to whatever groupthink programming the other lemmings are following?

Emotional feet stomping idiots who can't critically think.

Very frequently one can find the Dem pol source of DU-folks' (uncredited) claims and opinions. Original thought that deviates from the DEM Party line earns granite pizzas.

What SVP said. If they wander from the group think, they simply vanish. brooklynite was one of the more sane ones and he had good information he tried to give them, but his good information hurt their ears and their tiny brains, so they made him vanish.
He gave them real world news from inside the party and a lot of it wasn't good. Poof! Gone. Came back, and Poof! Gone again, never to be seen again.

Would they believe what they want to be true? What they fear is true? I'm not sure. Leftists seem like the sort of people who just kind of assume they know things.

Nope,even to choice of words as the latest is "goons".
Must have been a dispatch after some polling.

Is former9thward still around? Or did he too get a pizza for posting some truth DUpipo didn't want to hear or be heard?

Rush called out Dem pols and their parrotage of "Gravitas" over 25 years ago, and they still continue to reveal they have a talking-points-sharing network through repeated word/phrase usage.

Yes, right before theyre tombstoned (in some cases).
But, that doesn't imply that theyre thinking in a sane way.
Just thinking in a way that deviates enough from the groupthink to be banished.

That's a rhetorical question right?

I’ve been thinking about it, and I probably need to clarify. I’m sure that DUers have something within their skull (where normal people have a brain) that allows some sort of thought process to take place. By that, I mean that if their nose would fall next to a pile of dog crap, I assume that they have the process to decide it smells badly.
Of course, based on some of their posts, I may be giving them way too much credit with that assumption.
Anyway, back to subject and what I’m talking about. I’m going to use Airwolf as an example (maybe he won’t mind). Although I’ve never met Airwolf in person, I’ve been reading his posts way back since our CU days and have even interacted with him a time or two. From that, I’m able to decide FOR MYSELF that he’s an okay guy. I don’t need anyone else to tell me what to think. I don’t need to know every individual that he’s voted for or every ballot measure that he’s voted for. On top of that, if he happens to say something that I don’t agree with exactly, I don’t, by default, automatically kick him into the “evil” category. Instead, I just say “oh well, we don’t happen to agree on that” and go about my business with Airwolf still being a good guy that I just happen disagree with on a point. Do DUers have the mental ability to do that? Do they have the ability to decide whether they like or dislike an incident or a person without being instructed by their overlords or without knowing the person’s voting stance?

It's harder to answer than it should be. I know of a guy (through mutual friends) who is a very good engineer. He works in an environment that demands answers to complex problems (meaning fast talk and bullshit won't cut it) You find workable solutions to problems from every conceivable angle. He does his job well. However, people meeting him for the 1st time are often warned to stay away from politics. If provoked, don't take the bait. His stream of logic pertaining to his work is effective in solving problems. But, allow politics to enter and he's known to go bizarre with conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job. His system of logic evaporates. It's enough for his co-workers to feel it necessary to warn others about.
I think Savage got it right. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Applied to his specific failings, it means, 'You can't fix stupid". And some people in certain subjects are going to be stupid. They ignore logic, history, etc., to prevent their politics from being challenged.

Several decades ago I had a similar coworker, very senior engineer, yada, yada, yada. He was an avowed socialist (his words) and could not say "Reagan" without one or more epithets. Avoiding politics with him was necessary, and, thankfully, I did not have to work much with him directly.
Speaking of myself, I have strong views, obviously, but I will listen, and if someone has facts I do not, I'm persuadable.

And that, I believe is the fundamental difference of most of us vs. most of them. Them being so open minded and all...

No, I don't mind at all. It is interesting that we all know about Omaha Steve at DU and I have had a few real-life interactions with hi, which have always been friendly and professional since it all took place in public. However, when I see his post I have to wonder where he gets his ideas from. And there are others in our mutual circle of friends who are just the same as Steve. One of them however ended up losing everything after spending all of his money and never taking responsibility for his own actions. He's now in a halfway house after spending time in a homeless shelter. It wouldn't have gotten to that point even if the guy had at least been nice enough to do the right thing and say thanks and so forth for the people who tried to help him and he would just "bite the hand that tried to feed him."

I also worked with a guy years ago, also within the engineering umbrella, that was kind of like that, but his extreme opinion went in the other direction. He was so far right that it makes us look like lefties. On top of that, there was not a conspiracy theory that he didn't embrace. He spent a fortune preparing for the Y2K disaster. He even went so far as to have a second full kitchen built onto his house that was all gas because his existing kitchen was all electric.
