Poll question: DU is growing rapidly, if you are a newbie, what brought you here? |
|
DU is at 90,850 and will probably hit 91,000 by the end of the weekend. It was just 90,500 a few days ago. Out of curiousity, I wonder what is bringing so many new people here.

mainly because I heard it on the Mike Malloy show a few times and a bit on other message boards . i read good and bad about different message boards form different posters but I always ignore this and check things out with an open mind and see for myself .
It's easy for anyone to make rash judgements and have an opinion . to be honest I see no purpose in freeping . If someone has a problem with a progessive/ dem site or radio show then they need to look inside their own head and clear it out , possibly with a gun .

10. I found this place out of desperation after the debacle of 2004. |
|
I was figuratively suicidal and so angry another election was stolen.
I would read for hours at a time, trying to hang on to my sanity.
Lately, I started to feel like posting. I just couldn’t until recently, because my posts would have been nothing but a string of curses.
Cathartic…yes….but pointless.
Anyway, I love this place and hope with the enormous people power here, we can reverse the downward spiral of our country

11. It would be great if we could be informed better through this medium |
|
I love this place too. There are a lot of people here who quite savvy about politics and it is good to learn from them.

12. I was a poster for a few months in '03... |
|
...but then I lost intrest, mostly because My Mom's dialup internet was slower then molasses in Febuary (DU threads with lots of posts took ages to load), and because I forgot my password. Now that I am a college student in my own apartment with cable internet I rejoined.
