Is DU the biggest forum for political discussion, especially related to the 2016 elections?

Or are there others that are comparable? Thanks!

1. It's more less the place now days

Used to have political crossfire forum but that went down years ago,

3. Not even close. Reddit and Dkos are much bigger and diverse

DU is tiny in comparison

5. Yeah the reddit politics forum has over 3 million subscribers. n/t

7. are there discussions/debates on that site, or just people posting links to articles?

8. Like DU on reddit people post articles and people followup with comments. Some articles....

posted to reddit/politics have thousands of comments.

10. I can find the links to articles on other sites but can't find comments -- on Reddit. I guess i'm

missing something.

.. maybe you have to be a member to see the discussions?

11. Here's a direct link to the Reddit "Super Tuesday" thread with 31,000+ comments...

Here's the link of the politics forum:
https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/

To see the comments for an article you have to click on the: "#### comments" part below the article.

You don't have to be a member to see comments on Reddit, just to post a comment.

4. The Huffington Post may be the most popular political discussion forum.

9. You have to do facebook to do huffington post

I don't do facebook. I used to post on huffpo a lot. Now they require facebook.

12. I don't have an account on huffingtonpost but I just checked and although you can also...

login there with your twitter, google or even AOL login info you don't need any of those as you can just create
a new account on huffingtonpost.com itself.

14. Reddit is the largest by orders of magnitude

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics for example, has 9000+ people online right now, and 3 million subscribers.
