| Have you all visited democraticundergound.com? |
|
If you misspell "underground," and leave off the second "r" it will take you to a webpage that looks nothing like DU, but seems to be interested in all things political. If someone has the time, click on the link "Who should I vote for?" and take their survey to see if there's any bias.

| 8. Sorry...I had to actually do some work. What I saw of it looked like |
|
just links to articles and websites....advertising thrown in too. Didn't look "fun" particularly to me. More for a younger group than me!

| 9. I don't see how it could hold a young person's attention. |
|
Not enough bells and whistles, I think.

| 10. On the contrary! What I saw were MP3 downloading, video stuff... |

| 2. The first week or so after I registered here, I didn't have DU - THIS DU - in my favorites, and when |
|
I'd type in the url in my browser, I misspelled it nearly every time and ended up at that "other DU" you're talking about. It looks like some kind of Christian Fundamentalist website, though I didn't examine it long enough to firm up that opinion; might just have been articles on the "front page". Finally put this DU in my favorites, and the problem was solved.

| 3. I first found this place through Buzzflash |
|
back when Buzzflash itself was just a handful of links to the rare editorial critical of His Eminence. I just got into the habit of using the Buzzflash page as my home page for all the links they provide and navigating here after I read the headlines there.

| 5. I think they're being sneaky. |
|
Like how they advertise under the classifieds for Abortion clinics, when what they're trying to do is stop you from doing just that.
Isn't funny how they feel so entitled to be sneaky and crafty?

I just went there, looks like a search sort of site, then I got all sorts of popups and been busy closing them all down.
