In reply to the discussion: Why is DU's popularity waning? (Title edited, explanation within.) [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)Read an explanation from a DU member about how he is being royally shafted by the ACA.
Then read the countless comments of people who are in better situation financially. Any sympathy offered to him? Not from the more affluent. Rather than sympathy, he is told about his being a bad Democrat, bad this, bad that, and obviously, he wants to bring down the Presidency...
DU is a great place for the affluent. Not so great for the working class. And in that way,the DU website represents the very aspect of the Democratic Party that is losing it at the polls.
Or as a member of the public put it to me when I was tabling at a local strip mall, on a local issue, "I realized the game was rigged against us working stiffs when they came up with that meme: 'Vote for the lesser of the two evils.' "
