Late summer reading from Democracy Labs — Mapping the TRUMP SLUMP: Unemployment rises to record levels.

I am concerned that the Digital Drum is just Democrat. I am an independent voter and I see both parties have good and bad points. Even the Democrates have to admit that they did a very bad job preparing for the General Election last year... as Bernie Sanders himself recently commented. If I am just hearing messages from the left I will unsubscribe.
