227. But I keep hearing that DU speaks for real Democrats

There are apparently very few real Democrats anywhere else however, which makes you wonder what the tens of millions of voters and tens of thousands of precinct and district party volunteers are.

I personally would probably either vote O'Malley or Sanders now if the primary were today, just because I like their style better, but I would be perfectly content with any announced candidate winning. The only money I've donated to so far is Sanders because he will need smaller donations to keep his message going, which I find valuable. My issue here is not partisan concern either way, but to demoinstrate the difference between DU reality and real reality.

For the perpertually poutraged this is not even meta-scorn. I am an unabashed left-biased advocate on most issues and have no problem with such advocacy even on issues where I may be more moderate personally. I come here FOR left-biased advocacy. I just find it a little sad and strange that many people here deny that they are anything but towards the far end of the political spectrum. If we weren't, the House would be 435-0 D and President Kucinich would be looking at his final policy priorities planning to hand things over to President Sanders after his unopposed nomination and EC sweep.

I haven't visited places like FR in a long time, but when I'd skim it during the nomination and election campaigns, I saw brutal deranged lunacy for sure, but I saw honest brutal deranged lunacy. Nobody there pretends they are not far right. They revel in it and announce it proudly. Sure they fool themselves that more people agree with them than really do, but their self-deception is about numbers (which we sadly have too) not a false idea of where they are on the range of political opinion that is prevalent here, even when wider polls such as this one hammer home the gap between mainstream Democrats, let alone the whole gamut of Americans, and DU.

It reminds me of how the kumbaya Christians here pretend that's the vast majority of believers, and ignore data that show most believers accept Young Earth Creationism, a literal Hell, and other fundamentalist doctrines.
