24. Similar to you, but for me, even more weight was given by real life

Behavior on DU could be trolls, or real people just appearing exaggerated due to the nature of a discussion board.

I saw people in real life act out the worst of what I saw on DU of a few Sanders supporters. Interestingly, I saw some nasty behavior by a few Clinton supporters here during that time - but saw no such thing from the Clinton supporters I knew in real life.

I think to some extent the behavior mapping from DU to real life mainly reinforced conclusions I made about the candidates' supporters and leadership.

I am hoping to stay out of the fray of b.s. this time and try to learn about issues here.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
