In reply to the discussion: Newbie wants to know best forum for posting Political/Social Satire [View all]malthaussen
(17,065 posts)11. Welcome to DU.
General is the proper forum for most political writings. It is very volatile, however, so there will be a short shelf-life to anything posted there unless it goes viral.
The Lounge is for hanging out, sharing music and the arts, humor, etc.
You might also want to consider Good Reads (which is actually Editorials and Other Articles). The description implies third-party essays are to be posted there, but original essays are okay, too. If you tend to be discursive (or even prolix like me), then that forum might be appropriate. As it is less volatile than GD, your post will disappear from the front page less quickly.
