DU seems more caught up in the horse race. I spent months trying to get editorials on green issues noticed. When I finally got 70-80 "recs" the editors ignored it and filled the "trending" section with posts that had far fewer recs.

New ideas aren't trending in this country, even among the left? I susoect Warren is shaking that up though. OR I should say the old guard Democrats really are resisting new thinkers like Bernie Sanders. They're caught in a 1980s compromise with Reagan worldview. Can't be asserting ourselves now can we?
