The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: How did you come to find DU? I came by way of Huff-Post in 2004. How about you? [View all]Niagara
(11,372 posts)I found Democratic Underground's Facebook page between two Democratic pages on Facebook. One was Occupy Democrats and I can't
remember the other page. I'm not sure if it's still an active page or not.
Back then, Facebook pages followed each other if they shared similar content and ideals. It would would also state that that the pages would be followed by so and so pages.
Then I discovered the actual forum for DU.
Also, if it had not been for Facebook, I wouldn't have discovered that a local politician in my district was running on a 2022 Democratic ticket and there was nothing Democratic about that politician. I discovered this by looking at their Facebook page.
So people can bash Facebook all they want to. If I hadn't been on Facebook I'm not sure if I would have discovered DU.
