1. It seems to be evolving
to where like-minded people are able to organize into loose-knit grass-roots level activists. Others use DU for conversation and entertainment. And many combine the two.

4. This forum has the most thoughtful, concerned, intelligent people
...definitely the best forum I have seen..I am profoundly impressed! Political activism + a place where people can complain, share, care, or just BS. Great place! :toast: :thumbsup: :hi:

5. It is an effective coordinating activist community
recommended by 9 out of 10 dentists
with the satisfying bittersweet taste of Sophocles.
