14. Targeted? In what way?
Wed Oct 8, 2025, 08:57 PM
Oct 2025

The site owners, administrators, and those who keep the site running hauled off to a camp? Authoritarians crush opponents to benefit themselves, the reich-wing Republicans fear their own base and Trump more than they fear the Democratic base or politicians. Crushing DU in that way now is like crossing the street to squash a bug that you don't like. Someday it may be worth their while, but there are too many much bigger fish that need frying now.
Or targeted by cyber attack? They already have these trolls and bots on their payroll. Haven't there already been some site disruptions here? I very much doubt that those have been caused either by competing Democratic sites or Bernie bros.
