after an ad for the Democratic National Committee. (DNC) then...
...... look at the first top two sites, yes it is safe, and it isn't a joke.....didn't expect it did you?

[MADem]

1. I see an old link to a DU thread about the Most Popular Democratic websites,

and a link to the DNC. I don't have ads--I've blocked them.

If you follow the DU link that talks about the Most Popular Democratic Websites (a list from 2006), you get a list that a DUer posted from COMMON DREAMS of the top 25 sites. DU is 4th on that list, but AIR AMERICA RADIO, the Village Voice (really?), and of course, the pubisher of the piece, COMMON DREAMS (which they rank first) are ahead of them.


I don't think DU is top of the pops anymore. It's still a well trafficked site, but it's a niche market.

[Stuart G]

6. I believe it is the top..look at the second most popular...

It is very hard to know...I bet we are in the top 5 no matter how you count. I have noted that the traffic here has picked up. So many posts in the discussion group at the same time. This site does really reflect the true feelings of progressives in this country. And, because it really is anonymous, most of the people posting are average people involved in politics in one way or another.

8. No--the top link is a link to an old DU post. A post by one person with the "right" title to get

a hit on google.

That old DU post from nine years ago provides a list of what was, way back then, the 25 most popular Dem sites. On that Common Dreams list, way back when, DU was number four and they named themselves as Number One. I don't think that's still operative.

2. Didn't expect what, exactly?

Nothing really leaps out at me.

[Jamastiene]

3. I see a link to DU at the top

for a post on DU about The 25 Most Popular Progressive Websites: How They Rank ...

then the DNC

then a link to a Wiki page

then a link to a Gallup.com article

then further down, I see Democracy Now!

4. I truly miss 'Bartcop'

The now deceased blogger had a wonderful sense of humor & perspective on the world. RIP Bart!

it's http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/political-websites

followed by this OP.

7. I do think a lot of politicians around the country come here

Or, at least have someone on their staff look here. That is my opinion

[steve2470]

12. I used to agree with you

I think Limbaugh et al certainly do.

DU is much more representative of the left than the Democratic Party, to me. It always has been. Before 2009, we had common cause against the evil Republican Party. Now, we differ on many things, even within the ranks of the party. The left and the party do overlap, but as you can see, many are not in the party and many have no desire to be in the party. Which is totally cool. As long as we keep R's out of office, I'm happy.

9. That BING goes all over hell, doesn't it?

I don't care what YOU asked for, I'm gonna give you substitutes for the word liberal, to include, POLITICAL, CONSERVATIVE, PROGRESSIVE, etc!

Typical MICROSOFT atttitude!!!!

16. wow the guy doing the rating must be FAR right wing, CNN and Time ??? nt

[underpants]

17. No kidding

US News & WR?
Politico? That is literally a RW front/conduit for Drudge into the MSM

the New York Times doesn't make a Top 50 list for any list related to news or politics?

[okaawhatever]

10. That list is B.S. It also says "progressive" website. Since Alexa ranks the top political websites

overall and has DailyKos (a progressive website) is ranked higher than CommonDreams, CommonDreams can't be higher than DailyKos in the progressive only category. Sorry, shows just how dishonest Commondreams is.
