Democratic Underground is currently open to registered members only

Our apologies. We are currently experiencing an interruption in service. We have tracked the issue to our database but we are still working to determine the cause. At this time we have no reason to believe that the site has been hacked or is under attack.

If you were hoping to read DU right now and cannot access the site, we know this is a disappointment. With the election just around the corner, this is the worst time for something like this to happen. Unfortunately -- due to factors such as increases in traffic, additional server/software stress, the possibility of bad actors, etc. -- this is also the most likely time that something like this is going to happen. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as we possibly can.

At this time, only registered members of Democratic Underground can fully access the site.

If you are a registered member of DU and you are seeing this message, you can sign into your account here in order to access the site as normal. If you do not have an account yet, you can create one here in order to access the site.

We apologize for the inconvenience during this time. This situation is temporary, but could continue for anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
