336. I haven't found one, but I have noticed...

Aug 2013

that as a local Democratic committee member who is also running for a local office this year-- I haven't found one person who admits to posting on DU. Most claim not to have heard of it. It is a small town, but not that small.

And there's very little talk about Snowden, the NSA, or anything else that brings out the rabid around DU.

Actually, I haven't found too many who post much at all anywhere, except maybe on Facebook, which is now kinda required as an election tool. No time for this silliness that brings no reward. Jobs, family, campaigns... important stuff takes up a lot of time.

Me, I'm here as an escape from that real life where I actually have to work and make sense.

Never forget that this is the place where a Kerry campaign official was hounded out as an ignoramus by anonymous mouth breathers.
