13. Hostile influence on DU is not being studied, just as it's not

Fri Oct 18, 2019, 01:57 PM

Oct 2019

on several large social media besides FB, Twitter, setc.

DU's much, much smaller comparatively, of course, BUT it's the largest social media gathering place devoted to Democrats, with many more who drop by but don't join or post. And Democrats are the huge enemy the Republicans and Putin MUST defeat.

Of course they're busy here.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
