Found my people... thanks DU

Hi everyone,

I am new here but not to these types of forums. Years ago I participated in the forum formerly called Common Ground Common Sense. This election cycle I was looking for a new place that I could trust. Too much hyperbole and misinformation is out there blurring the lines of propaganda, rhetoric and campaigning. Too much is at stake.

I sought for an online community that is centered in critical thinking, one to call out a bluff and one where tough questions within the party can be discussed civilly without it turning into a hate fest. I remembered the DU from the early forum days. I was glad to see it still exist.

Every day I struggle with not taking the bait from yet another Hillary hater whether it be on line ( FB is a wasteland) or a super market. I want to come here so I can really get my game on, have the right talking points that are fact checked and really help dissuade that person on the fence from throwing a vote away in November.
