10. Well, DU is too small a sample.

We need to count other things, like Facebook likes, YouTube views, sub-reddits and online polls after debates. Things like that that truly measure public opinion of people who are all engaged and stuff. You know, real-world datums and things.

Time to move into the honest, true digital age and like that.
