General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I really disagree with Skinner's statement about who is welcome on DU [View all]emulatorloo
(44,428 posts)With just a couple of not very onerous caveats:
"Democratic Underground is an online community for friendly, politically liberal people who understand the importance of working together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government."
"Members are not expected to hold across-the-board progressive opinions on every single issue, but we do expect members to be generally progressive and to support Democrats at election time"

FWIW, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) is primarily a fundraising organization. . Does not write the platform. Organizes and puts on the national convention.
It isn't the Democratic Party, that's made up of Democratic voters, politicians, local Organizers etc.
DU is not affiliated with either the Democratic Party or DNC
