I would like some guidance on jury duty for posts from the Democratic Primary Forum

**sent here by a GD host.**
I have several recent jury duty calls to posts from there. I value vigorous discussions and I feel that is the place for DUers to hash out our opinions there. I have seen sources from sites I would not visit more then once and for a couple of the lower percentage candidates, a few of the posts with info are from the woolly wild world of youtube vids.
Clearly any DUer who drags an Alex Jones interview into here, as a
reputable source of info on Democratic candidates will get alerted
on in a hot minute as a RW source. But what about a Joe Rogan.
+Andrew Yang. Or the proposed Yang +Ben Shapiro.
(:pukediscussion.
I understand you post from a sketchy. site, you take a risk. A potential Dem candidate, like Yang , he is starting way from behind



Thanks for input. I am truly perplexed about that forum jury duty calls.

I was/am interested. Now, and I do not know this started, now he is speaking about infant male circumcision. I have never given thought about that topic as a POTUS political position before yesterday.

No bashing of Yang intended, but honestly, I am looking for other info about a possible POTUS.

There are millions of words about the others, this man doesn't have a big media foot print yet.

mostly UBI and the coming onslaught of AI and Humanity First.

As to the circumcision issue, it really isn't an issue that I find of interest one way or the other. He is entitled to his opinion on it, that it has received some coverage comes across as some folks in the media making a big deal out of nothing.

I am following him on twitter & I did so b/4 the latest meadia kerfluffle. His then posted website was kinda thin when I first heard of him in early Feb. Besides that site, is there more you'd recommend for info on him?

The War On Normal People and I found his website to have a long list of things. Granted each and every issue is not addressed in depth on the site, but there is at least a mention of many problems and of a direction in which he believes we should be heading. I am impressed with everything I have heard via Facebook videos and alike. I am looking forward to hearing him in the debates and along the way. Seems to be level headed, intelligent and having a plan, so I am good with him.

He's a right-wing loon. He's never a valid source for anything on DU, in my opinion.
