How did you come to find DU? I came by way of Huff-Post in 2004. How about you?

[debm55]

[SheltieLover]

[debm55]

4. Thank you very much SheltieLover and I am glad you are here

[SheltieLover]

2. Lynn Samuels' website.

Lynn used to have radio talk shows on NYC's WBAI and WABC before going satellite.

She had a great list of links on her website, including DU.

[debm55]

[no_hypocrisy]

[debm55]

62. Thank you

[hlthe2b]

3. 'Saw Skinner & EarlG's sign in the (semi-protest) crowd at the GW Bush* inauguration Jan, 2001

I logged in to that original, fairly limited site and looked for others who shared my feelings about the horrific SCOTUS decision to make him president. I continued to lurk for a few months before signing on and have been here ever since. Fellow Coloradoan Kentuck and I signed up on the same day I found out years later so I always look for his posts.

At the time there were just a handful of emerging Dem resistance posts--including Bartcop, The Smirking Chimp, Atrios, etc. Wow... a long time ago... I hope all who remember the lessons of then can propel us forward now.

[debm55]

9. Thank you very much and I glad you are here. Love your posts.

[hlthe2b]

[4TheArts]

10. I bounced off of Common Dreams

A friend recommended Common Dreams years ago as a news source, and balanced opinions. Someone on that site mentioned Democratic Underground. Not a frequent poster, but I depend on DU as a source of sanity, along with timely and honest info.
And thanks to someone, for those hearts!

[debm55]

22. Thank you very much, 4TheArts. I am glad you joined us.

[MiHale]

11. From Truthout...

Will Pitt mentioned it in a reply to a comment I made on one of his articles there. I was lurking here then and eventually decided to join.

[debm55]

20. Thank you very much.MiHale. I am glad you found us and I enjoy your posts.

[MiHale]

25. Thanks deb...really enjoy yours too!

[Sneederbunk]

13. Thom Hartmann

[Xavier Breath]

He mentioned it sometime in the summer of '16. "Democratic what, now?" was likely my response.

[rubbersole]

81. Yep.

[LoisB]

14. Bartcop - 2010

[mwmisses4289]

27. From another website, during the 2015-16 election.

It was mentioned by someone posting there, I was curious and checked it out. Was a lurker for many years, then became a member a few years ago.

[debm55]

30. Thank you very much, mwmisses4289, Thank you for joining us at DU

[LuvLoogie]

28. I don't even remember

I think I was trolling the Red State site. 2012ish. Then I decided to calm down and find kindred spirits. But there were some Jill Stein, Glen Greenwald, Matt Taibi, Julian Asange fans here too at the time. And some really vile Hillary haters. They've left several years ago.

[debm55]

32. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH, I trolled at the "Free Site" too. Seldom posted there but when I did, I put them up in arms. Glad you

Found us at DU. Enjoy your posts.

[LeftInTX]

161. I was doing the same thing..LOL! I was trolling Red State myself.

I was trying to read the tea leaves in the GOP primary. I really didn't want Rick Perry to be the nominee! They really seemed to like him over there.

I found DU shortly around that time also because I was reading up on the primaries. I remember Jen Rubin liked Rick Perry. I sent her an email about incompetent he was.

I joined after Obama's not so good first debate. I wanted to "do something!!!". Fortunately, I found a connection to a local campaign office and started making calls to Florida.

[JMCKUSICK]

31. I believe I heard someone mention it

On progressive radio

[debm55]

33. Good morning John. Thank you for the post. Engoy your posts at DU

[ms liberty]

34. The Smirking Chimp. I found DU and lurked for a couple of years before joining

Mainly because I'm rural and on a good day back then our internet speed would be 44k. A bad day was 22k.

[debm55]

37. Thank you ms libery. Glad you are here.

[Niagara]

36. Facebook

I found Democratic Underground's Facebook page between two Democratic pages on Facebook. One was Occupy Democrats and I can't
remember the other page. I'm not sure if it's still an active page or not.

Back then, Facebook pages followed each other if they shared similar content and ideals. It would would also state that that the pages would be followed by so and so pages.


Then I discovered the actual forum for DU.


Also, if it had not been for Facebook, I wouldn't have discovered that a local politician in my district was running on a 2022 Democratic ticket and there was nothing Democratic about that politician. I discovered this by looking at their Facebook page.


So people can bash Facebook all they want to. If I hadn't been on Facebook I'm not sure if I would have discovered DU.

[debm55]

40. Thank you Niagara. I was posting at Facebook with fellow teachers sharing ideas also posted here. When Trump won the

first time my page was trashed. All of our ideas and projects were trashed. Never closed it I was very mad. Have never been back to Facebook. It was a teachers page, not political. Thank you for sharing your posts with us. I am very glad you are on DU. Love your posts.

[Niagara]

149. Facebook can be a helpful tool at times.

I'm glad that you're here on DU as well, Debbie.

[Ruby Zee]

38. Huffington Post 2004

[debm55]

41. Me too. Thank you for joining us at DU

[debm55]

58. I agree with you. thank you very much Bernardo de La Paz and join DU. thank you for your well thought out posts.

[yorkster]

39. It was around 2004 I think.

Found it scrolling around at the local library. I may have seen it mentioned on Daily Kos or Firedog Lake. I lurked for years. Joined about 2 years ago.
It was Bush 2 and the Iraq war that drove me here. Glad I found it.

[debm55]

42. Thank you very much.yorster. And we are very glad you are with us on DU.

[Alliepoo]

43. Somebody on Facebook had posted

Something from DU. I thought it sounded interesting so I went searching for that Democratic Underground, found it and lurked for a while then I joined. I’m SO glad I did. I don’t know what I’d do without my DU family!

[debm55]

51. Thank you Allieppoo and we are so glad to have you on DU

[Comrade Citizen]

44. google searches since 2001

DU kept showing up in searches for bush v Gore, war, recession, Obama, Clinton.

[debm55]

49. Thank you Comrade Citizen. Glad you are at DU

[greatauntoftriplets]

45. In February of 2001, I was searching for Bush jokes.

One of the hits was the Top 10 Conservative Idiots. I lurked until fall of that year, mostly because I didn't have a home computer then. Then I joined and bought my first computer. Been here ever since.

The triplets in my username were babies then. Now they're 24 and all three college graduates starting their careers. It's an interesting way to measure time.

[debm55]

48. Thank you very much, greatauntoftriplets. I am glad you are on DU and I enjoy your posts very much.

[Diamond_Dog]

77. I was having an argument online with some rightwinger in our local newspaper.

Back in the days when most newspapers allowed comments.

He said to me, Wow, did you get all your talking points from Democratic Underground?

I thought, what is Democratic Underground? I had never heard of it before. So I searched for it, and, as they say, the rest is history!

[debm55]

84. HAHAHHAHA Good for us Diamond_Dog. Love your posts.

[Diamond_Dog]

113. Back atcha, Deb!

We are almost neighbors!

[UpInArms]

78. It was one of the following

I can’t remember which one

LiberalSlant

I miss all of those sites …

Am so glad that DU has endured

[Cloudhopper]

80. 2011 Wisconsin Protests

I was just searching for news/information on the protests and DU came up in the search. I think I've been here just about every day since. I joined 11/1/2024 cuz I didn't want to be blacked out during the election, and I knew I needed DU's opinions and research to help get me thru it. And you did. Thanks!

[debm55]

129. Thank you Cloudhopper for joining our family on DU.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

[Mad_Dem_X]

86. I believe it was through a link at BartCop. 2004

I don't remember how I discovered BartCop, but he started me on the road to be a proud and active Dem.

[debm55]

92. Thank you very much Mad_Dem_X . We are glad you found DU and for your posts

[Dorothy V]

87. In a stroke of serendipity ...

98. Thank you very much louis-t. Thanks for joining us on DU and for your posts.

[LudwigPastorius]

93. I found DU by way of The Smirking Chimp links.

That was some time in 2001/2002, I think. (I had a different username back then.)

96. Thank you LogDog75 . I am very glad you found us. and you great posts.

[Laffy Kat]

101. I originally joined as a Keith Olbermann fan.

There used to be a KO forum. Gosh, it feels like such a long time ago. The KO forum is no more but DU keeps me sane, informed and entertained. So glad I discovered it.

[debm55]

103. Thank you Laffy Kat. for being part of the DU family. We enjoy your posts. PS at one time KO was a sports reporter of a

station in Pittsburgh.

[Eugene]

102. Around 2002 or 2003. DU content was shared on the newsgroups.

Didn't sign up until the 2004 election.

[debm55]

104. Same here. Thank you for joining up with the DU family you are a great member.

[Basso8vb]

105. A friend told me about DU in the fall of 2004 and I started lurking here every day.

Finally created an account in 2016 due to all the bots and trolls flooding the place.

Only started posting last year mainly because most of my sentiments are expressed so much better by many folks here.

[debm55]

107. Thank you very much for being a member of our DU Family you are a great member.

[CareyOn]

106. It was during "shock and awe" during the Iraq war.

I was so upset watching the nightly bombings and a coworker told me about DU.
Yea, it has been many years that I have lurked and learned from the fine people here.

[debm55]

108. Thank you very much CareyOn. I am grade you joined DU and have become part of our family.

[proud patriot]

109. 2001 I saw Skinner and EarlG holding the sign along the inauguration route

I was anti computer at that time . My husband was an earlier gamer so we had a
PC at home . While he was at work a couple months after Bush's inaugural I turned
a computer on for the first time in my life .

I typed I hate Bush into a search engine and was directed to Hated.Com . it listed all websites
that were opposed to Bush. I scrolled a bit and recognized The Democratic Underground clicked
and found like minded people .

I became very passionate very quickly . I volunteered as Moderator a few months after that.
My first day as a moderator I had learn how to copy and paste

I spent most of the next 10 years serving this community as Moderator.

[debm55]

126. Wow proud patriot that is quite a story. Thank you for being part of the DU family. I giving your time and enery in

being a Moderator.

[proud patriot]

143. you bet

[Americanme]

110. I found it through Bartcop

It was during the first GWB term. I started reading DU every day before work, and about 20 years later, I finally joined.

[debm55]

125. Thank you Americanme for joining our family at DU. and by sharing with us.

[moniss]

150. You are always an island of sanity in the sea

of turmoil. You deserve all those hearts.

[NNadir]

112. I'm probably too old and senile to recall precisely but...

...I suspect it was from a website called "smirking chimp" where the argument at the time centered largely around whether Ralph Nader was an asshole or not. I was an advocate for "he's an asshole."

There was a moderator there called "board nanny," who I assumed was actually the web page owner sock puppet, who sometimes, eventually often, would delete posts for specious reasons, like a lack of specificity in the post title.

Someone probably linked DU and I came over and never looked back.

I did post for a while at DailyKos, somewhat prolifically for a while, but the owner banned me for telling the truth. Unlike DU, Daily Kos is an autocracy. I returned all my commentary to DU where, when I'm obnoxious - and sometimes I am - I'm judged by a jury of my peers.

I'm concerned that DU may be suppressed by the fascist thought police led by his Maggotcy King Elon the first ( and hopefully last.)

[debm55]

123. Dear NNadir. We at DU are glad you are here. I enjoy your posts. Thanks for being part of the DU Family.

[applegrove]

115. The Bill Maher political discussion forum. They mentioned

DU. I was tired of wiping the floor with obnoxious GOPers and their bs and wanted a place without Republicans. So in early 2005 I logged onto the DU.

[debm55]

116. Thank you very much applegrove. I am glad you found DU and have found a place of peace and like mindednes.

[mike_c]

117. followed a link from some long gone web page or other in 2002

[yellowdogintexas]

119. Around 2004, I found some other boards

I decided DU was my best place

[debm55]

120. Thank you very much yellowdogintexas. for selecting DU. DU would not be the same without your presence.

[Eko]

127. I dont remember but it was more likely from Huff-Post as well as I was on there.

Of course once I found DU I steadily moved here.

That was back in the days of The Top Ten Conservative Idiots.
I lurked here until Nov. 5th and finally decided to join. Much more

[Lochloosa]

155. I think I found them the same way. Through Huff-Post.

I honestly don't remember, but for some reason that sounds right. Also, around the same time.

It's hell to get old.

[debm55]

170. Yes it is isn't it. hahahhaahhhahahaha. thank you for being part of the DU family, Lochloosa.

[mommymarine2003]

156. Thom Hartmann mentioned it on one of his shows.

It appears I joined DU in 2012, but I am sure I was reading people's comments before that. My son was in Iraq, and I needed a place of refuge from all my worries about my son, and my anger towards George W. Bush.

[debm55]

172. Thank you mommymarine2003 for being part of the DU Family. Love ya and I hope your son was okay.

[BBbats]

157. Discovered DU during the Obama election.

Been following since then.
Just recently became a small amount supporting member.
I'll continue as long as my Social Security holds out😉.

[debm55]

168. Thank you for being part of the DU family., BBbats. Glad you are here.

[badhair77]

158. I discovered DU in 2004. I couldn't believe bush won reelection and I stumbled across

Keith Olbermann. In googling his name DU showed up and I was hooked. I lost my first screen name and password so I lurked for awhile but finally started over as badhair. I’ll never do that again because I was devastated when DU went down after the 2016 election. Hopefully we’re now protected against the slimeballs that caused that outage.

[debm55]

166. Thank you very much badhair77 for being part of the DU Family and being with us.

[LSparkle]

159. I think I heard Thom Hartmann refer to a post here circa 2001

Definitely during the first term of W.

On edit: Checked my profile and joined in 2003 but definitely lurked for a while before then. Air America might have carried Hartmann because I bought an AM radio when they began broadcasting and I was a 12-hour daily listener.

[debm55]

165. Thank you very much for being part of the DU Family. and sharing with us.

[MustLoveBeagles]

[KitFox]

162. I saw it mentioned on Common Dreams and Daily Kos

and read here for 15 or so years before finally officially joining a few months ago. I remember election night in 2016 and I couldn’t sleep. I kept getting up to see if the site had gotten back on line because I needed to read posts from people who I knew felt just as I did. I love ya, DUers!!!!! 😊🩷

[debm55]

[electric_blue68]

173. Used to hang out for hours at this 24/7 Net Cafe near Madame Tussade's Wax Museum in or near Times Square...

Last edited Thu Feb 13, 2025, 06:32 AM - Edit history (1)

This was in the first few months of W's term.

I was putting in "Democratic" ?something, and amongst the results was DU. Looked intriguing. And without a computer at home, and our libraries mostly closed by 7p - 9p; I, a late nighter I had a whole bunch of other non-political things I wanted to look at that night.
So... I forgot about it.

Fast foward to ?21, or so. I was on a Music site I frequent(ed) that had a Politics sub forum. They were not paying attention enough imho to a particular political anniversary. This annoyed me.

So I went to google up Democrats related sites; though not the official Dem Party.
Out of the blue "Democratic Underground" popped up from my memory. Nearly 20 yrs later! Amazing!

I was like... "Oh, suuuure. Like that's going to still be around.". 🙄
But surprise!: there you were/are!

So I popped in, and never left. Lurked for a bit (a few days, ?or more) before I first (or was able to) post(ed). Soooo glad I remembered DU!

[debm55]

186. Great post. Glad you are a member of the DU Family. I enjoy your posts.

[electric_blue68]

192. Ty. I enjoy your questions.

187. Thank you very much. and glad you are a member of the DU family.

[Rastapopoulos]

175. Another Bartcop alumni

I even remember when he started his 'Bartcop' persona back on Prodigy during the 1992 election. When I got online during the Bush years, I was glad to see him there to help us get through those dark times and would slip him a few bucks occasionally.

As you can see I don't post much, but should have more time now that I retired two weeks ago.

176. Back in the 90s, I think. Probably referenced by some article or blog. Maybe Bartcop?

177. Exactly how is lost to history.

But I know it was January 2001. I think I accidentally found a link somewhere to Top Ten Conservative Idiots. The DU community was such a comfort after the trauma of W’s selection, and I have come here almost daily for news and commentary. Lurked for literally decades and finally joined. I never felt much need to post, but I am proud to be a member.

180. Another Bartcop alumnus.

Seemed like BC was including at least 1 reference to a DU post every addition that he published. Signed on originally as Old and In the Way. Took a hiatus after the the 2016 election, forgot my password and returned under my present moniker.

I absolutely love how this board is structured. Pretty much the only place I spend time these days on the innertubes.
