I put in all the information for my card only to get an error that I can’t use a debit card. This is the only card I have - I use it for Netflix, HBO NOW, iTunes… everything. Why can’t I use it here?

This isnt the place to ask. You should contact support to look into it. It may be due to information related to your card, or a flag rose on your account making it not usable, etc. Open a ticket in your account or email digital ocean support.
