Proof positive that DU does not represent the real world.
   
Now I know most of us are well aware that we are different here, infinitely more engaged, hyperpartisan and for the most part rude as can be ;-)

But over and over in the months leading up to actual voting, I've heard a popular refrain from people who disliked Hillary here on DU. "No one I know likes her or will vote for her".

This was repeated dozens of times with quite a few DUers chiming in.

Well we're 6 elections in and some 1.5M Democrats have already voted for Hillary Clinton.

So next time someone says to you that no one they know likes or will vote for your candidate.

Just roll your eyes.

And the Hilary love continues ....

26. Probably, but DU really doesn't represent the real world. Most people know a fraction
 of what we know. They get their biased news from FAUX, Rush, Hannity, O'LIELLY, Tweety, Blitzer and their local newspaper. They really have no clue what's REALLY going on. Obama's popular? OKAY then! I'll vote for him!
 

 :lmao:

I just spit coffee over my work computer.

42. Unlike many here, I don't pretend that the Democratic party is the "left wing" or liberal...progressive, or whatever term you use, political party in the United States. Such an entity doesn't exist in this nation, we have the Dems, who are Center-Right, and the Repukes, who are Far-Right. I'm not surprised that so many people who are Democrats support either Hillary or Obama.

Maybe a world, a universe, where Mao tse-Tung and Pol Pot are "right-leaning moderates"?
