Who owns Democratic Underground and is it connected to the Hillary campaign?
Was thinking about getting a membership but have a few basic questions about the company.
Who funds it? Does it take money from pro-Clinton groups that are promoting Hillary for president?
Also do the site owner give money to Hillary?
As a Bernie Sanders supporter I don't want to accidentally donate to an opposing campaign.
I tried asking this question in the "Welcome and Help" forum but they made fun of it as a conspiracy theory and then hid my thread and called me a troll.
