DU is one of the leftist hubs on the internet along with other sites.

Authoritarian fascists likely send operatives into these places to try and modify the discussions and viewpoints to their liking.

I feel a decent percentage of status quo handles here are not here for anything other than disruption, disinformation, and right wing propaganda propagation.

Dear honest DUer, please read and analyze the discussions and figure out who you can trust and who is looking to harm you. There are people here that are willing to greatly harm their fellow human for their own self interests.
