It seems to me like traffic is low on DU
I don't see as many responses to posts, even really good ones, as I used to even a few days ago.

This surprises me because recent political developments have been newsworthy and discussion worthy by any standards.

If DUers are taking a break, that's cool. I am on a semi-break myself. But if they are discouraged, I would like to offer this perspective: The R's are screwing up as we knew they would. The Dems are coming through at the recent hearings as a competent opposition party and are making everyone on that signal chat look foolish. Let's encourage them to keep doing so. They are making headway.

I have even noticed a change in corporate media coverage. I was able to watch CNN for an hour this morning, and they were not kind to Republicans. And I am very difficult to appease in this regard, as most of you know!

Don't lose hope, people! And most importantly, if you see something productive and effective from someone on our side, encourage more of the same!

2. Signalgate may be making folks more paranoid than "usual."

It's like every spy movie ever.

Our cell phones are Big Brother.  DUH

7. This is not big brother

This is Trump idiocy.

MAGA dummies did something they weren't supposed to do and they only got caught because they did a second dumb thing by "accidentally" inviting a journalist to their group text.

Now they are doing a third dumb thing by trying to cover it all up and deflect blame.

21. If people in the Intelligence business can be hacked ...

... how about us ignorant civilians? Admitting you have a problem is the first step

22. If you're referring to the Signal mess

That was not a hack. That was sloppiness on the part of Trump’s team.

30. Except a few days before the Russians

hacked into Signal. They know what was in the chat & trump's envoy on the chat was in Russia then.  What proctologist gave you that information?

OH NOES!  We lost CNN.

     It is entirely possible that there are some DUmmies who actually believe they matter, and are being monitored by Musk, so they don't post to protect their SS checks. That is what I call sadlariousthetic, which is a neologistic portmanteau of sad, hilarious, and pathetic.

Total whack jobs they are

DU's traffic will surge when Ovechkin breaks the goal-scoring record. It'll be "Russia! Russia! Russia!", Sports Edition, as DU posters relate the tale of how Putin hacked the jumbotron and the record books.

More likely, is the realization on the part of the semi sane fringe on DU, that the party isn't much of a party, and it reflecting in presence and participation.

27 percent popularity, as a party. And its going to get worse.

Nobody likes democrats, DUmmies.  You're out of style.
