Political activation requires passion and passion or strong emotion cements memories in the subconscious, ie; anger or resentment which I believe colors our perspective more than the average American.

Thus many members here are still reliving the emotional primaries of 2016 and it's reflected in our D.U. polls.

The average American is more concerned about the issues and policies which affect their lives.

Thanks for the thread donkeypoofed.

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