About the Blog

Devil Dems is the official blog of Duke Democrats.  However, Duke Democrats members have diverse viewpoints, and we encourage our members to express these diverse  viewpoints.  Unless otherwise mentioned, the views expressed on the blog are exclusively the opinion of our individual contributers, not the official opinion of the organization.

We retain the right to moderate comments, especially to prevent hate speech and to catch spam.

The goals of the blog:

• To provide an outlet for student voices about local, national and international political issues
• To create high-quality content and analysis, especially about North Carolina, Durham and Duke issues
• To keep our membership and our friends updated about the goings-on of Duke Democrats
• To facilitate dialouge between politically minded Duke community members across the political spectrum
