1. She needs to come and read DU.

There were OPs on here about each of the above things she mentioned, often the same day it was floated by it.

2. Her staff...

Probably do, she's broadcasting to a much wider audience. You'd be surprise at how many have no idea that DU exists.

3. Thom Hartmann is a long time member of DU, there are times that he's mentioned it

4. True...

But in my travels I have found that many of my fellow Democrats have no idea this place exists.

5. I've told friends about it and a few signed up, but only one of them has ever posted

I don't know what I'd do without DU, not only do I learn a lot, but it sure helps (especially now!) to know I'm not alone.

6. I have found the same, other progressives don't know about DU.
